Arms AOE/ST pugging resi+17 in Season 2

Warrior Midnight Arms
1

Since some people have asked for it in DMs, here are the two sequences I run and have successfully pushed to Resi+16, halfway to 17 while pugging. I have the following macro to line up Colossus Smash and Avatar. Taunt, defensives, pots etc are ofc separate.

It’s not a bad compilation; I liked it. Thanks!

Ill def give it a try, I haven’t been able to make a working steeady dps arms macro yet. Til they buff Thane more :stuck_out_tongue:

4

Your sequence is actually not bad at all, but I wanted to know what talent you’re using

5

Glad to hear it. I’m running https://www.wowhead.com/talent-calc/warrior/arms/slayer/EAOARUVVFVFGZEqRQBQNVUVVCZRVRhQXQCEAFFVVVUBB

Tested it in a 12 MR, ran smooth. DPS seemed good, I am sure I messed up CD rotations etc. Mind you this was still mainly stat’d for Fury. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/faTj9FQqV1h2yCvW?type=damage-done&fight=7&by=source

Then took it into a H Ula’tek pug. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/faTj9FQqV1h2yCvW?type=damage-done&by=source&boss=3492&difficulty=4&wipes=1

Will be re-stating and getting proper food etc and running from 17’s if I can get into groups today.

Made a few edits to the overall macro to get things to fire on CD, also made this macro for the big CDs where itll be available for both Colossus Smashes then reset for next Avatar.

Nice. Let me know what you edited and if you found it improved the DPS.
Avatar is not on the GCD so you dont need to use a castsequence but also works.

8

I can post the export if you wish. As for the /m macro The one you put up originally will not use Colossus Smash again due to Avatar being the first /cast, you could reverse it however you want Avatar before CS I believe.

9

Yes. Would like to see it if you think it’s performing better. Just timed RLP+17 which went well. Would like to see more logs from you if you’re using it.

I ran a 16 RLP with is, felt I hit CDs pretty well. Parsed lower than Thane sadly, still think Thane is better overall in M+. (Plus we get buffed on reset I think finally). But in raid I think Ill be running Arms now with this. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/tDVLw6fnvjgmba1Y?fight=2&type=damage-done

Thanks. I’ll have a look later. Unf. Thane secondary stats are very different from Slayer and I dont have a good second 2h to test with. But the rotation is quite a lot simpler to sequence.

12

@Eurp
Thanks for sharing! I tested it and it works really well. Got an 80% parse on a +6 key with a 280 ilvl Arms Warrior, around 190k DPS. Love that it’s Slayer, and especially that CDs have their own mod or they are used manually. That’s how I tell a good macro from an average one :smiley: No more blowing CDs automatically when the last mob in a pack is at 5% HP, then having nothing for the next pack. Great stuff!

13

TBH, I didnt have to change much to get more crit/haste over mast/haste. IDK why when I run dungeons on Arms, my parses are in the 30s, on Thane 80+.

14

Okay there so Many V1, V2, V3, V3 Versions which one u r running ?

Talents i use these from EURP at the top.
how u guys Name the Macro for Avatar, Colossus Smash and Trinket ?

we need Specific Name that it Triggers ?

It runs with or without modifier ?

15

His macro was one v3 when I imported it so that’s the one I edited. As far as talents, I just use what wowhead shows. All of the raid (minus SSzorack is MT).

As to the cooldown macro you can name it whatever you want, has no ties to the GSE macro. I don’t believe the GSE macro uses modifiers, at least not in my edit.

16

Yeah. I dont know either. I can give Fury a try again and see. I’ve had some 90+ parses when pushing +16 and higher using the macro.

Im running V3. I should/could clean it up. I only use 2 modifiers when running the macro. Shift to trigger Bladestorm and cmd (I play on a mac) to shockwave. I have my CD macro that I linked above on 2 and I spam it until I see Colossus Smash and Avatar trigger (and my trinkets also pop when they are available using the same macro).

Then I use a minimum number of keys around my left hand. I bind 1,2, 3, q, e, f, shift+f. I also use mousewheel up/down and shift+mousewheel up/down. I run the same on all my characters. E.g. f is always my interrupt, shift+f is always my big personal etc etc. It works for me. These + GSE have allowed me to push 3.5k+ in the last 4-5 seasons since I started playing regularly again as tank, healer and now DPS (this is the first season I’m pushing as DPS).

Just had a look. Dont really understand the reason for the changes. Do you feel they improved the macro somehow? If so, in which way? :slight_smile:

19

Mate can u help to set it up? my dps seems really low and i need to figure it out

20

Ill have to double check I am on again, off-hand I know for AOE I made adjustments to Sweeping Strikes and Bladestorm to fire exactly at CD like they should.
