[Warrior] Sundering with Colossus Smash

[christianfd]

I searched the forum and found nothing similar to this post. So as far as I know this isn't a repost.

So the thing is i was doing a Hc ealier today and I saw that my target had 3 sunder armor stacks on, the wierd thing is I only casted 1 spell that should have given him sunder armor, so I choose to investegate^^

I found out that if you open with Heroic Throw that would applie the first sunder armor (Duh!.. XD) but, here's the trick, if you have Colossus Smash glypehd to refresh sunder armor, it will not only refresh it, but it will also applie another stack, thereby you have two stacks, now just cast a single sunder armor, and you won't need to worrie about it for the rest of the fight. Quite simple indeed.

With this being my first post (I think) I can understand the sceptisme, but just go ahead and try it, if it failed, well then I can't do much about it, all I can say is "It worked for me", but just try it out before you start flaming

So let me get this right, step by step:

1: Use Heroic Trow (apply a sunder)
2: Use Colossus Smash (apply a sunder)
3: Use Sunder Armor (apply a sunder)

Hmm, so the use of 3 spells makes 3 sunders, duh....?

[christianfd]

Yea, but it being better then
1: Heroic Trow
2: Sunder armor
3: Sunder armor
that's better becouse you will save a cooldown, give high dmg, be able to continue rotation where enemy "has no armor" and 15 rage, thus being able to put out far more dps at the start and if you wish you can just drop doing sunder armor and wait 20 sec and you will have 3 w/o thinking about the spell, and the reason it's a exploit (either if I didn't make myself clear, or you didn't read it probebly) the glyph REFESHES sunder armor, it doens't applie one.

If u got CS glyphed then it adds a stack of Sunder armor(so whenever you got a sunder armor up on a target, using colossus smash will add another stack of sunder).
Nothing more to it, its being like that since the start of cata.

[christianfd]

Might be so, but it still states that it refreshes, the sunder armNvM.. I hope this will be useful for someone

[BaddyMcBad]

Not an exploit at ALL. Working as intended.

[seth131313]

If this is working as intended, then why does it not state anywhere that CS will apply 1 stack of Sunder Armor?

-Glyph-
Your Colossus Smash refreshes the duration of Sunder Armor stacks on a target.

-CS itself-
Smashes a target for 150% weapon damage plus 120 and weakens their defenses, allowing your attacks to entirely bypass their armor for 6 sec. (I'm sure most of you will read the last part of CS and think it sunders, but 1 sunder will not entirely bypass anyone's armor.)

-Talents including CS-
Sudden Death: Your melee hits have a 3/6% chance of resetting the cooldown on your Colossus Smash, and you keep 5 rage after using Execute.

[Ssateneth]

not an exploit. glyph of cs is supposed to add a stack of sunder (and refresh)

[seth131313]

After checking 3 different sites, the tooltip clearly does not say that it adds a stack.

"and you won't need to worrie about it for the rest of the fight."
By that you mean the Sunder Armor debuff will stay for the whole fight without having to renew it?

No, but CS should be in your rotation so assuming you are playing right then you don't need to worry about it. At least until you swap targets. And while it's true that CS does not say anywhere that it should add a stack of sunders, it is well known and common knowledge by any raiding warrior that it does. So I'm not sure if your 'exploit' will help anybody as everybody knows already. But thanks for sharing!

[polyester]

move this to elite

[nulacz]

Definitely exploid, glyph of CS is supposed to refresh sunder, but not to add stack of it

[Horneyyy]

Perhaps that's how it's refreshed..? It tries to add a stack, if there is already 3 stacks.. duration = reset. if theres 1 stack, then it tries to add a stack and it succeeds = 2 stacks..?

[noes]

Then its a tooltip error.
