Arms TANK Warrior is Broken! Season of Discovery Guide

there is a new build going around that is catching a lot of popularity in top guilds in the game right now and I think it is pretty nutty so let's talk about it I am going to show you the talents but please do not skip after them this time it is really important that you understand why they are laid out this way I call it Fury Pro in in the start of this video but in reality this is mostly arms and no prot at all and no you are still going to be using a shield and you are still going to be in defensive state dual whe tanking is not a real thing until way later our goal is maximizing threat rage generation and does damage since we are not going deep Pro we are sacrificing a 15% thread bonus right here that we are not going to get so we got to offset that with pure damage So in theory we need to get at least 15% damage to be in line with what a pro Warrior would do perhaps even a little more but the good thing thing is that this is basically the only real threat that you gain from Pro talents because all the talents below the fiance are just random tankiness bonuses maybe a little bit of Rage here and pretty much nothing just Revenge uh which is you don't take this this is a PVP Talent actually so you're losing improved Shield block this is a big deal you're losing defense that is a big deal uh so you are losing some tankiness quite a bit of tankiness but threat you're basically losing just the 15% modifier and one of the ways that we are going to offset it is we're going to take cruelty right here 5% crit as you know 5% crit 5% chance that your hit is going to do double damage AKA 5% more damage that is five out of the 15 we're losing here already off the bat and now we're going to have to work on the arom three here because all the talents below this are worthless we are going to take heroic strike here very important that we take heroic strike because this is going to be a huge part of our strategy of making threat here we are going to be generating so much rage we're going to be dumping it on heroic strike one of your best abilities for threat and we are also going to take improved Rend because we're going to need this Talent below here and also we're going to need a bleed you're going to see that in a minute once again and now we got two chances here to do something we want to take par if we want to reduce damage taken or we can take a thunder clap for more threat we're going to go for thunder clap you know reducing the R cost by4 and we take one point in par here this is Max threat you can go for more par if you want par is also really nice because it helps you a little bit every time you get hit you get a free auto attack again basically so that's Pary haste so that is also more threat and we are going to take one point in deep wounds as you can see right here we are level 25 now why are we going deep wounds okay we're going deep wounds and ren because of this little Talent over here blood freny every time you you deal bleed damage you you gain three rage this is every 3 seconds your deep wounds and your Ren ticks so you're getting 3 + three six rage every 3 seconds two rage a second for free that's the most important part and we are going to need that rage because we're going to be taking devastate devastate is th armor but it does damage how much damage does it do now 60% weapon damage plus 6% per stack of s that is essentially 90% weapon damage every time you pop it h when you got the full Stacks so as you can see you're going to ramp up your threat really nicely this is a lot of damage also the the really good thing about devastate with damage now your ther armor can crit so your sun armor can give you deep wounds your s armor is going to be doing a lot more threat and is affected by this Talent too so is is really good in general to get devastate people are sleeping on the overall effect devast state had on this and finally we are going to be taking the Furious Thunder enchant here for the legs this is just a more threat on Thunderclap basically you need to keep Thunderclap up at all times anyway you might as well get it I want to drop a little caveat here if you are fighting a boss that is immune to bleeding we are talking about Baron aquanis in BFD for example we are going to get rid of blood freny because we cannot use it and we're just going to take flag Elation instead now if you look at the numbers that you are going to be producing with this extra rage and damage we are looking at about the same threat as a pro Warrior we are not quite killing it yet on on the thread meters so why are the top guilds doing this okay as far as I know the first people doing this were salad Bakers and I am not sure if that's the only person that did it I am sure somebody else Theory crafted this before them uh you know all the speed clearing guilds do similar stuff but back during the Scorpion meta you know when people were having a scorpion tank half the freaking raid because they were that broken they needed a tank to do some of the fights they needed a real tank to do the tank swapping fights so they didn't want to sacrifice a dpser when a scorpion was tanking all the time why would you get a full tank and this is where this build really shines it has the flexibility if you go back look at the talents right here if you change this Rune here uh right here to Quick strike and you change this room here to freny theault now you got you can even take flagellation here if you want now you got a very solid 200 dpser build right there this is all damage talents right and that's the point you can be a fullon DPS and still be able to serve as a tank when your raid needs you there was only three fights where a real tank was needed at the time because of the tank swapping so we're talking Kel's gura and akumi and in those most cases uh the DPS warrior with this spec would just take the tanking runes and pick up the boss and do the mechanic and then he would just go back to normally dpsing now after the Scorpion meta I still think there is a role for this as an off tank not a main tank okay no sane person would want somebody with no defensive talents to be a main tank but for all the fights where you need to tank Swap and you're going to need enough tank for that this is probably the best you can get also and another thing is that this build is excellent at pulling threat when they are not taking the damage okay you see something like a pro Paladin failing or a pro Warrior even failing in the tanking department when they got to be the second on the thread meters because they do not produce the Rage or threat necessary to be second on thread meters when they are not getting hit uh this build completely circumvent that you can even swap to a twoand weapon and when you get the aggro you just swap to a shield with a macro you can swap weapons in combat so this is outrageously good your St priority for Max threat is going to be agility threat and stamina we are optimizing for rage generation once again now if you want to max out damage and it may be interesting for you to get two different sets you swap into when you are not being the tank uh you get one stack strength over agility strength is still better but as I said with the Bear in these low levels most of your threat is from base values the base threat of your devastate the base threat from heroic strike and that means the more rage you get the more threat you're going to do besides creting Gibs has deep wounds right and that means more rage that we can still dump on this now we're going to talk about your rotation it is a priority list basically you first want to keep demoralizing shout and thunder clap at all times on the Target and if nobody can keep battles outout on you you also got to do that of course you can do that before the pool remember to also blood rage as soon as you can because R generation is also threat then comes Revenge which is only proing when you get a block or a Dodge that does a lot of threat then comes devastate which is going to be our bread and butter and once we get three stacks of thund we can Ren the Target and get the extra rage in the form of bleeding to us back is also really nice because you know that's also damage and if we are getting rage capped like if we are over 40 R and only just then you want a heroic strike too with this build if you get a decent amount of agility you are going to be spamming devastate every gcd basically so you're doing 90% weapon damage you can imagine how much damage that's going to be once again I want to take a minute to discourage you a little you are squishy as hell your only Lifeline is Shield block that only blocks one attack and you can't do this if you do not have a raid that both kills the bosses fast because no healer can keep you alive for very long and second that you got very competent very attentive healers and on top of that this only works if you have good Gear with the right stats all your consumables and all your world Buffs however if you want a tank and DPS at the same time this is by far the best build to do that I want to once again shout out lty from salad Bakers for demonstrating on stream how he uses this build for Speed running his channel is going to be on the description I didn't want to use his footage because I thought you might as well just watch his speed running that's what he there for subscribe leave a like join the Discord and thank you for watching
