Arms Warrior 7.3

[Guest Furior]

Hi, I'm practicing Arms rotation right now and need help.

1. How much rage do I need to maintain, like 20-30 rage? Do I need to expend all rage to get a tactician proc? This is when BC and Bladestorm is on CD.

2. Is auto-attack the only way to generate rage or should I move away and charge to generate rage?

3. When using CS>BC>Bladestorm I usually get a lot of rage and could overcap. Is there something that I could do with this or just let it overcap.

There is no need to pool. Spend as the rotation lists, don't worry about pooling.

No, there is no need to move away and charge.

Let yourself cap.

Tnx. Regarding talents though which is preferable? Rend/TM or Trauma/FoB? Is Trauma/TM not viable for ST?

This will depend on your rage generation rates, your gear as well. Try using this:

Is the rotation list a rotation or priority list? I assume it's a priority list but it doesn't say that so just making sure

[Guest Galiana]

Can I ask about relics and netherlight crucible traits?

Precise strikes is rated top for Tier 3 within the guide - described as Colossus Smash reduces the Rage cost of your next Mortal Strike or Execute by 10%. However, on Strom'kar - the Precise Strikes tool tip shows Colossus Smash increases Critical Strike chance of next Mortal Strike or Execute by 8% (32% with 4/4).

Does this then affect the rating and relevant ranking of the trait within the list? Be grateful for clarification and update.

Thanks

It's a priority, yeah!

It's a tooltip error that isn't in our control to fix - the ranking is still the same though, it's done for the live version of the game.

Not really, no. Stats in Legion don't set themselves to caps. Instead, your stat priorities change constantly as your other levels of stats change. Try using RaidBots to find your weights: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/stats

I am having a Hard time about status, even using the raidbots still get confused, how much haste % should i have to to not rage starve? should i scrap all other status and focus purely on mastery?

Depend on the itens i could get 20% crit 25% haste and 75% mastery, but just 3% of versatility, this is ideal, or i could sacrifice a bit of then to get more mastery and versatility? 20%crit 18%haste 76%mst and 10%vers, o tay with 67% of mastery but get a bit more haste, strength and versatility?

This isn't something that can be answered without your sims. What is confusing you on RaidBots? Did you use this sim?

https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/stats 

It will give you stat weights that you can use to compare how useful a stat is to you at that point.

Alternatively, you can sim different gear sets against each other and get a more accurate representation of which set does more damage.

There's not a specific Haste amount that you should aim for. It's different for everyone and changes with every piece of gear you equip.

It seems this part of the guide need to be updated:

1.2. Execute Usage

 Execute deals extremely high damage and refunds part of the Rage spent if your target does not die, allowing you to cast it much more frequently during the Execute phase. You should be casting Execute twice to stack the  Executioner's Precision debuff to two, and then consuming those with  Mortal Strike with  Shattered Defenses active if possible. With  Rend taken, it is not maintained during the Execute phase, and is replaced by funneling Rage into Execute casts themselves.

1. Cast  Whirlwind if at 3 stacks of  Weighted Blade and  Colossus Smash is present on the target.
2. Cast  Colossus Smash if  Shattered Defenses is not active,  Warbreaker can replace this if you do not need it for incoming AoE.
3. Cast  Mortal Strike at 2 stacks of  Executioner's Precision, and with  Shattered Defenses active.
4. Cast  Execute.

The top priority 1) above says to use WW with 3 stacks of WB. But during Execute Phase, you should ignore Slam/WW right?

 

Also you have it so Slam is replaced by WW in the guide if you check FoB, but this only happens with the first rotation under 1.1, you may want to have it also update the Whirlwind in the list under 2.1 section for the opening rotation priority number 7 in that list.

Let Wordup know, thanks!

Just wanted to say, the tooltip when you hover over Precise strikes has not been changed.  The trait no longer reduces the rage cost of MS or Execute by 10% stacking, but instead increases the critical strike chance of MS or Execute by 8% stacking per trait.

For tooltips, we can't fix it - it's not our database, but we try to make sure all descriptions written on the site are up-to-date!

This guide will be updated for the release of the pre-patch of Battle for Azeroth in the next few days. We are aiming to have every guide deployed prior to the patch going live.

Please note that a new feedback thread will be created for the new guide, meaning that this one will be archived. Any feedback you have for the new guide should be placed in the new comment thread.

Thank you all for your patience and we are working to get the new guides up as soon as possible.
