Warrior CC 20% Phase
Priority sub 20% is to get executioner to 5 stacks(spamming execute) using MSs when you need to keep Slayer at 3 stacks and not falling off, then once ur at 5 stacks executioner, 3 stacks slayer, MS > CS(swap MS and CS if no 4pc t13) > Execute(50+ rage).
No heroic strike, no overpower or slam.
can you fix it?
Thanks for kbrebel04 to post this.
Firstly; as a 7/8 H raiding arms warrior... just plain no.
Sub-20%, you replace Slam with Execute (execute moves to the top of the prio list if Executioner is going to fall off)
Otherwise, you keep the same rotation. Using overpower only if its going to result in more damage (less than 30 rage, use overpower, otherwise, use execute)
Keep CS up -> MS on CD -> Overpower if < 30 rage -> Execute.
The idea is to stay in berserker for the entirety of the execute phase. (That means popping Deadly Calm/Reck if you need to, as well as Inner Rage, etc)
Execute itself isn't a great DPS increase, its the haste buff that makes it worth it. (Replacing slam with Execute basically ensures you'll never lose the Executioner stacks) MS/CS are still higher prio during the burn.
You may still want to pop HS if you have Incite and CS up at once, but thats a big "if". (Personally, I never do, as Execute does more avg damage)
I rewrote the Arms rotation the other day to have better stance-dancing. Netted another 3k DPS over the old rotation. However, this is still 6k short of my manual play. Writing proper stance-dancing arms logic is quite difficult. (You only ever want to be in battle stance for rend, and *right* as you need to pop Overpower) Its also difficult to delay overpower for back-to-back Overpowers during a CS duration.
