The 2% buffs should refresh itself whenever you do damage with fire, frost, and nature, not when you actively use any ability. So FT and FB should keep the fire and frost 2% buffs up as long as they're active and you're hitting something.

Thanks for helping out with that! :)

Gladly :)

Curious, have you guys been eyeing the changes on the PTR at all? Looks like we're getting a 6% buff to all abilities and Hailstorm is getting a 25% nerf. Going to heat up the AS vs HS debate even further.

Personally (I don't main a Shaman), no, but Furty and Wordup have been! Updates are already in the works to ensure that we get things out in a timely manner, but the ever-changing nature of the PTR does make it tough!

So new question. After a certain gear/ilvl gear point will I see a change in my stats? I ran a simcraft and it pushed haste as my second best stat overall, as opposed to Mastery. Maybe I screwed something up, but my simcraft looked like this. This is with the changes to character gear over the last few weeks. Added a new lego got some upgrades etc... etc.... Is this simcraft wrong, or am I at an ilvl breakpoint where haste no becomes a higher stat?
( Pawn: v1: "Manatideteo": Agility=14.05, CritRating=10.91, HasteRating=13.28, MasteryRating=11.70, Versatility=11.64 )

Stats will always change depending on the player. Stat weights completely rely on interaction between stats and how much each one would give bonus DPS when compared to another in terms of single points. 

This means that, if you have 1 million mastery, 1 more point of Mastery means nothing. If you have 0 Vers and you add 1 point of Vers, it's going to mean A LOT. This is completely normal.

The guides are currently being updated for 7.1.5! I just wanted to leave a few notes for all of our users that might be getting ready to leave a comment:

  • Some pages do not require updates. The "Last Updated" stat does not mean the page is out of date, it might just not have needed any changes. If you feel that it does, leave a comment telling us what needs changing and why.
  • The process will not happen immediately - some guides will be updated faster than others simply due to the number of resources available. Be patient, they'll be ready when you need them!
  • There might be some continuity errors when making small adjustments to large guide pages. If you do find one of these, just let us know in the comments and we'll get it fixed ASAP.
  • "Why have you not taken into account X buff to X ability?" - remember, just because something got buffed, it doesn't mean it is now automatically better than the other options!

As always, we want to thank you all for being patient while we get things updated and I'm always available to help you all if you need it :)

Thanks for the updates.
The checkboxes for Hot Hand/CL don't seem to be working on the DPS rotation page.

Hi im curious if you should still spec into Hailstorm if youre wearing the legendary bracer since you need both buffs active to activate them or would it still not be worth it?
I was planning on using Hot Hands (Tier 1) and Hailstorm because of them.
I wont really have time to test it anymore since our raid is always on ID reset day and i have to work till evening, would be glad to get some help with it!
Thanks in advance and thats my character if it helps anyhow:

I've seen a few posts on the MMOchamp forums all indicating that regardless of your legendaries, HS or Frostbrand should never be used after the nerfs in 7.1.5. 

The only user posting otherwise is in this thread:

http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/2148760-akainu-eye-of-tn-hailstorm

And they indicated that it's a benefit only if you have Akainu's Bracers and the Eye Ring.

Am I the only one who doesn't seem to like the new rotation or the changes Blizzard did, I could understand giving us a baseline damage increase but to in theory change how the class does damage just doesn't seem right to me.

 

Could be i am just too used to the old rotation and not the new one

Overall it seemED like a buff, but on the dummy it seems like a huge nerf. I bursted with easily over 1 million before, having the Belt and the Necklace (crap legendaries) and could maintain around 500-550k STDPS. Now I barely burst with 700k, not even talking about my average DPS..

This is always one of the biggest issues when big patch changes hit. You get used to one thing, then have to learn a new rotation for the raid in a week. It sucks, but at least it keeps things fresh!

I think it depends on the fight - movement heavy or general fight, boots + WS. Completely ST, Hail/Hot/Bracers.

Is there any changing from Fury of Air or is this the way to go now? I just dont like the mechanic of having to monitor this ability.

I believe it is now the best talent in that line for every situation bar one or two VERY niche ones. It's unfortunate, but it is definitely the best.

Did some sims on Ursoc (H) via AskMrRobot and I'm still ahead in terms of DPS using Boulderfist instead of Windsong... which isn't a fight with a lot of cleave so I'm wondering if I missed something in the 7.1.5 updated guide... would speccing Boulderfist affect my capacity to maintain Fury of Air too much you think ?

Definitely possible, yes, given that you lack the AS-generation from WS. Also keep in mind that all sim-related testing is done through SimulationCraft for the guide.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
