    The shortest and simplest of all spec videos, Arms truly is the Boomer spec.

  2. I will defo be playing arms, it's a satisfying playstyle to me. I don't think you give enough attention to the aoe options however.
    Bladestorm + Warbreaker can be very strong with Anger Management, and Dreadnought is great aoe due to the amount of free overpowers you get.
    I have even heard that Ravager + Collatoral Damage may be extremely strong for two/three target fights, but I can't confirm.

  3. As long as MS hits really hard i am happy :P. And i hope the mastery changes give back some of that front load dmg that makes arms feel good (half of the dmg going into deep wounds felt terrible in bfa). For me it is way more satisfying, to play a slow hard hitter, than a adhd spam 3-4 button spec like fury or havoc. Fury rotation is so boring to me and it never feels like you are dealing dmg.

  4. Arms in such a desperate need of strong attention of devteam for so long now. If there will be no big creative changes to core spec mechanics in 10.0 (without barowed power), arms will be pretty much ended. I hope blizzard will do something

  5. They should give cleave base line and non CD to have samething to spam in pull instead ww that do shitty dps, arms gonna feel soooooo bad just till you farm all haste pieces….

  6. Cleave no longer replaces sweeping strikes and all abilities got a 6% damage buff which both those changes will make arms dps a lot better on aoe! Being able to do your normal sweeping stikes aoe dps then being able to go into cleave aoe rotation replacing morta strike with cleave on aoe is huge I’m already doing almost 2k-4K more on sustain aoe now.

  7. Everyone always doubts arms and then arms always delivers. These early days mean nothing! Who was number 2 DPS in 8.3? Hmmm?
    Wait for the soul binds and covenant abilities to roll in, nothing is set yet. Great video though!

  8. Gonna be my 3rd pick for shadowlands. I really like the spec because of the theme…and the sounds! Nobody mention this when playing arms. You really feel you are slamming with a huge weapon. Also execute feels so good since beginning. Plus warbreaker and bladestorm and you have an inmense burst. The only big problem its what you do in the middle of this. I think the new mastery and the added utility adds Arms what he lackeds while all BFA.
    Its a great spec, pretty niche for sure but tons of fun.
    Just pick, go to BG, charge a pesky mage and slam him in 4 sec…and now you are in love with arms!
    Yeah, maybe I and a boomer.

  9. I think what you dislike is exactly what they ( and I) want arms to be. A slow, low management spec with few meaningful buttons that aren't complicated. Most other specs are much faster and require more weaving and synergies but when I play arms I just want to hit slow and hard with my big 2 hander. The main complaint I would say is the talents I agree with you on. Things like anger management and in for the kill should be baseline by now, but more than all of those I hate fervor of battle. If arms is the slow tactician spec, why are they using more rage spinning in circles to hit 1 person? Slam should hit hard and be the single target ability and whirlwind the aoe. Loving these vids your pumping out btw keep em coming.
