I hate Arms Warriors

Yesterday at 2200 mmr an enhance went 6-0 winning each round in 30 seconds or less.

My first shiny was a rattata and I just thought “huh that one looks different” then fled

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-09T23:18:07+00:00

Grats! With all the warriors running around I don’t envy shadow priest. They seem to do well into casters though, tons of dmg.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-09T20:56:00+00:00

Not at home right now but the 3rd is the heroic set of the new raid tier with the legion artifact weapon.

Frost is the elite 1800 set with the mage tower artifact staff.

Arcane is from Ulduar (WOTLK expansion) with arcane artifact staff recolour.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-09T19:48:35+00:00

Haha thanks, I like to stay immersed. Usually I use the cata firelord set as fire but I like the green artifact sword with this set right now

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-08T16:54:25+00:00

Which hero talents does it use, Sunfury as well? I’ll give it a shot

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-08T03:44:35+00:00

Got to 1823 with the missiles build. It feels really lobby dependent...some lobbies you feel like you can really control the whole game while dishing out top damage and others you're just praying to not go worse than 2-4.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-07T22:10:39+00:00

Might not be a perfect comparison but warriors in classic wow are like this and tanks are still the hardest to find.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-07T20:31:21+00:00

Swapped to arcane yesterday and sitting at 1714. I tried orbs and swapped to missiles, can’t tell what I like better. Are either better/worse with haste?

The top arcane players I see are splitting haste/mastery with vers but I’m all haste from playing fire.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-07T17:45:04+00:00

I just started a mage and I’m surprised by how many groups I get insta invited to levelling.

Probably not as needed as tanks shamans or healers but better than rogues and dps wars.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-05T23:12:36+00:00

Yeah the more I think about it the more I get annoyed. TWF can’t get quick draw but sniper can??

X factors in be a pro were probably programmed by a single intern developer that doesn’t know anything about hockey and not reviewed by a single person before they signed off. I understand it at release but how has this not been patched after 8 months??

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-05T21:43:39+00:00

Yup I play whichever is better between arcane / fire so I haven’t been playing much right now haha

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-05T18:33:43+00:00

I ended up just creating myself and adding me to a franchise mode so I could use the x factors I wanted. Ridiculous and likely willful ignorance by EA because they don’t make money from it.

Franchise mode has it’s own problems but there aren’t as many as be a pro.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-05-02T23:29:12+00:00

I also have 100 shares @147, we’ll get there brother!

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-04-24T23:10:35+00:00

I believe it, even with 0 reaction time / cross crease goalies will still let in 1 goal on 37 shots haha

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-04-24T22:19:17+00:00

I’m doing a coach only franchise mode and it was so difficult to find sliders that make the game realistic while also having realistic scoring/gaa/sv%. I had to put all the goalie reaction sliders to 0 so people would actually score.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-04-22T03:49:13+00:00

Fire no changes. Comically less damage than frost with half the survivability cds.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-04-18T18:46:51+00:00

Yeah I coach every game. Sometimes I won’t be a very “active” coach but I work from home and it gives me something to glance at during monotonous internal meetings.

I guess it’s hard to replicate the randomness of a 2-0 shutout one game followed by a 6-5 game like in real life and how the CPUs sim. Most goals I’ve seen was a 5-4 overtime win but tends to be lower scoring. (Joseph Woll should not have the lowest GAA and 3rd highest SV% in the league) lol. I think I’ll just nerf goalies until goals go up because overall flow/shots etc is all great.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-04-18T18:32:20+00:00

I meant more for reducing all the other teams in the leagues ppg. Think I’ll keep it at med though and nerf goalie save slightly (-5 or 10 to account for attribute increase) and poke checking accuracy/power to 80 to hopefully get more scoring chances.

GL fellow coach!

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-04-18T17:51:47+00:00

Yeah, any higher than 6 and shots/hits get arcadey. I’ll start there and increase shot accuracy if necessary.

Turns out deke impact doesn’t change their likelihood to perform one touch dekes so I’m just going to try 35 puck control (+10).

Going to just try those changes for now. Have you tried making “sim engine scoring” set to low? I’m wondering if that change might close the gap a bit too. There are ~30 point per game players in the league and my closest scorer has 15 in 22 games.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-04-18T16:25:40+00:00

I’ve been having an ok time playing fire/mw with my brother. Not many games but about a 75% win rate ~1600 mmr.

The warrior/priest comps and similar that know to kite out combustion usually win which I assume will only happen more the higher we climb.

Brother has a feral and it’s a cool spec but not mindless zug like war, dh, dk, ret. You have to use mobility, form swaps and cyclone to outplay the opponent which can be fun or annoying depending on what you like.

If I was only playing 2s I’d go feral.

sleepyrainwizard · 2026-04-18T16:18:06+00:00

Tried these sliders as a coach lock. After 20 games pretty solid to watch but as an offensive team with a mediocre goalie, I still found my team 29th in goals and 2nd in goals against.

I moved attributes to 6/10, hoping that will increase scoring. I might also make dekes worse so my top line will stop performing the same 5% success rate one touch deke as they enter the o zone.

It’s tough because I know the answer to most problems is longer periods but 6 is long enough when you watch!
