@DravenCarey21 holy shit man... I just logged on today and tried it you were right! Thanks I appreciate it... Ha, I had never done that in 3 years of playing an arms warrior -_-

[DravenCarey21]

@cod9898989 its even better if u make it a macro that looks like:

#showtooltip

#show Bladestorm

/cast Berserker Stance

/cast Recklessness

/cast Sweeping Strikes

/cast Bladestorm

that's my lolstorm macro. hops u into berserker for the extra 10% damage then uses recklessness/sweeping strikes before bladestorm (can anyone say supa high aoe deeps?). let me know what ya think

[deathraiser2000]

Whats the addons name that shows ur char on the left side and ur target on the right side?

[DravenCarey21]

@deathraiser2000 I beleive it's called "ZMobDB Advanced6"

[deathraiser2000]

@DravenCarey21 and what about the border of Bartender4 its kindoff yellowish?

[DravenCarey21]

@deathraiser2000 that's a separate addon that works with bartender called "Masque"

[DravenCarey21]

@cod9898989 not at all, bladestorm will hit everything. but sweeping strikes is esentially a double bladestorm, all those hits also cleave off to other mobs. it's amazing. if you wanna test it find some target dummies that are clustered up and use bladestorm in the middle of them (without SS) then do it again with SS and compare the damage, that should show ya

[cod9898989]

why do you use sweeping strikes with bladestorm? Isn't bladestorm already hitting all mobs making sweeping strikes a waste?????

@DravenCarey21 Yep, I switched to arms and went into lfr just for kicks but i dont think i ever got about 16-17k dps. Maybe its my gear and i dont have enough crit or something, i dont know. I just know that i did worse than when im fury.

[DravenCarey21]

@OneKnight1234 that's exactly what i'm saying. you may not get the absolute top of the meters but you'll be competative and save urself a headache :)
