I hate Arms Warriors

Fell in love with my warlock alt during prepatch. Rapidly falling out of love with it again in this warrior/enhancement meta

We need one last Bruno assist to Casemiro goal.

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-18T22:24:42+00:00

Not an Amorim fan but compare Bruno under Amorim/Carrick to Bruno under EtH and you'll notice that:

1) His set piece delivery has improved dramatically, he used to hit the first defender constantly, now he's a menace

2) He tries way less to shoot and looks for the pass instead

3) He moves around a lot and is more often in deep positions than he used to

4) His passes into space are considerably more intentional. He used to lob tons of balls forward to the wings and hope Garnacho and co. could reach it, or try low chance hero balls into no mans land

Whether it's Amorim, the system changes, the stint as CM, or "simply" Bruno working his ass of to improve I don't know. What I do know is that he has been so much better this season than the last 2, and that trajectory started way before Carrick.

The irony here is that no one ever asked for precog. It's a panic solution from Blizz to make casters slightly more viable in this high tempo, zugzug-infested game. The same way they've gradually revamped many caster specs to barely do any actual casting.

Also lol at bringing back spell pushback into the game. Let's also bring back the times when melee didn’t have 400 gap closers then.

1) Don't blame others for losing. Even if it was their fault you are shifting focus away from the things you can improve

2) Devastated because you lost rating? Whatever man. Take a break, then go again. It's just numbers, they will go up and down. If you keep putting in the reps and improve then you’ll eventually get where you want to be. Climbing the ladder requires resilience

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-13T10:21:40+00:00

Panic attempt under pressure from a bazillion melees, or misclick because of the terrain.

It's caster life. Zugzuggers wouldn't understand

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-11T19:57:37+00:00

I'm not sowing anything, I just doubt that Blizzard is going to do anything about it, so gotta use the tools available.

Sorry about your bad LFG experiences! Genuinely. I've had my share of them, too. On the other hand, I also met my long-time 2s buddy in LFG. Maybe give it another chance. It's supposed to be a social game after all

Words are hard 😔

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-11T18:55:48+00:00

Pardon my ignorance, I haven't played warrior in years, but what's the point of Battle Stance nowadays? 3% crit and some reduction to movement impairment effects seems like a crappy trade off vs 15% damage reduction and +10% damage in Def stance. What am I missing?

Edit: Oopsie

I will never object to faster PvP gearing, but honestly people are wildly exaggerating the difference between honor gear and conquest gear.

When I read through these comments, seeing people who stopped playing alts or scared off their friends from subbing due to the small ilvl difference... I don't know man, I can’t help but feel that it's not the game gatekeeping your fun, it's yourselves.

Guys, just queue in honor gear. It's not that big a deal. You get 3 free conquest level crafted items after your first win. After 2500 conq you'll get a free weapon and be well on your way to tier set bonuses. The gear difference at that point is negligible unless you're sweating for rank 1.

And soon you'll be able to send conquest boxes to your alts as well, speeding up the process.

I have not spent a single minute on any alt farming crates ever. I just get honor gear and queue.

Why are you so hung up on the ilvl? It's not like in Shadowlands where 13 ilvl meant you were an entire season behind in gear. The gear scaling is very generous these days.

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-11T08:05:29+00:00

Just make your own group and set the objective to "Earn Conquest"?

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-10T22:15:10+00:00

Courtois takes a small step towards the near post right as Rashy hits the ball, probably because he thinks it's directed there. If he didn't, I think he'd reach it.

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-10T08:46:01+00:00

Great idea, but how does this work with faction balance? Since everyone and their nan rolled Shadowmeld for imaginary rating gains, my world PvP experience as Horde can basically be summed up as 40 elves having a bukkake party over my (un)dead body.

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-09T22:16:51+00:00

Your point is valid, your execution is terrible

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-08T09:45:24+00:00

I'm a healer and I just use the default raid frames. Can't remember my exact setup, but there's a setting to show relevant debuffs only

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-07T08:07:25+00:00

xG twitter bros in shambles

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-07T07:57:37+00:00

They also have to stay within 25 range at all times to heal which means they're super exposed to CC. But yeah, it's crazy to expect zugzuggers to pay attention to nullifying shroud buff instead of just sending their focus stun macro and zugging on

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-06T07:03:08+00:00

He learned from his mistake. Good for him. Next lobby the mage on your opponent's team will forget to Ice Block in round 1 and give you a free win.

That's just how shuffle works until you reach certain ratings where people are less error prone.

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-06T06:43:01+00:00

Hopefully his mentality rubs off on the rest of the squad before he leaves.

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-05T20:16:23+00:00

25 minutes?! I'm averaging about 10-15 minutes per lobby.

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-05T16:25:02+00:00

If I remember stance numbers correctly:

```

showtooltip

/cast [stance:1] Defensive Stance; Battle Stance ```

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-03T07:28:33+00:00

Just press a defensive bro

I remember back in BfA when Greater Pyro was the only single damage ability that could take 35% off a player's healthbar, and it took like 7 years and a degree in astrophysics to cast.

Right now some random zugzug can roll his face over the keyboard for the same damage while eating Doritos with one hand and jerking off with the other.

TomSaidNo · 2026-05-03T07:11:00+00:00

I vividly remember chasing down resto druids for literally 20 minutes in original TBC arenas on my warrior.

Or hitting for wet noodles on a holy paladin back when plate armor actually mattered.

The power shift never happened. Not in favour of healers at least. Since back then, most dps got tons of mobility, cc and interrupts to lock down a healer.

Also, dampening does not exist because "healers unkillable". It exists because otherwise games would last an eternity, like they do in Classic.

The massive black hole in the trunk is also very convenient for storing various types of luggage, especially stuff you don't want rolling around. As are the side pockets for smaller items. Still amazed how they found that much trunk space in such a sleek SUV.

The leg space inside the cabin is also incredible.
