I could update to save battlecry for AoE. I wasn’t doing that because doing so results in less battle cry, which lowers your damage on the boss. Arguably maximizing damage to the adds in that fight is just “padding” since they will die fast enough without you specifically saving battle cry for them.
I used this spell filter for both logs: “Kil’jaeden’s Burning Wish, Warbreaker, Colossus smash, Execute, Cleave, Whirlwind, Slam, Battle Cry, Mortal Strike, Ravager”
I’m wondering, what are you guys using as base of information for arms warriors ?
The Arms Compendium is a pretty well done guide, from a bunch of experienced arms warriors and theorycrafters.
Battlecry should be used when we pop Ravager, or Bladestorm, for both AOE and ST. Not with warbreaker.
And Kil Jaedens burning wish is used while only 1 target out of 4 is affected by colossus smash, that’s not good.
Yeah I could optimize it more for AoE. I’ve been going through all the rotations and doing some updates before we create our new gearing strategies for each spec.
We see a slight DPS loss by sync’ing battle cry and bladestorm. I’ve done that test before when comparing to logs, and found the same thing. You don’t really gain any damage by sync’ing those two because you end up with less uses of one or the other by doing so, on average. Most of the time it ends up being a wash as far as DPS goes.
I think the tweak to the AoE rotation for Warbreaker will make KJBW hit more targets that have colossus smash debuff.
Regarding the ring of collapsing futures… the damage on that item is so low that it never even makes it out of margin of error, so I just don’t bother with putting special logic in for it.
