So I did some testing on the dummies for quite a while now. With my current gear (and legendaries) it seems like windsong pulls ahead Hot Hand for me. Any idea why that might be? It's not only on burst btw it's also a lot on avg dps.

+ How important is using Lightning Bolts in the rotation?

 

Thanks!

Honest question to you guys: Is Ele overall better now? It felt like b4 they lacked ST dmg. And is enhancer useful in raids and myth+ anyhow? Cause I mean we got classes like DemonHunters that sim with around 80k more DPS while having the same ilvl as an enhancer plus they do loads of AoE.

Hey guys!

Just tested the new rotation/Skillbuild with a simulation via SimulationCraft. Now i have the problem, that SimulationCraft says, I'll lose 70k DPS with the new skillbuild. (I also updated Simcraft to v. 710-03) Any ideas what i messed up?

The stat priorities for the easy mode page and the stat priority page are not the same.  They don't agree on crit/vers.

In the "Easy Mode" section, you've picked Windsong, but then never cast it in the rotation.

Hot Hands might be a better pick for "Easy Mode" as it's passive.

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..

Same experience here, did eight 4-minute dummy sessions with the new talent spec and was consistently just under 20% below my prepatch dummy dps.

Doing a few runs with the old spec had similar results, so it seems it just a general massive nerf.

Quote from guide:

Quote

With 7.1.5 both Hot Hand Icon Hot Hand and Windsong Icon Windsong are good choices, but Windsong Icon Windsong will generally be the best choice due to its versatility and increased burst potential, alongside its significant impact on overall Maelstrom and Stormbringer Icon Stormbringer generation.

Hope this helps.

I'm honestly not sure I can answer this yet, sorry! Wait a few days and allow the dust to settle, you'll start seeing logs popping up from raid night testing and you'll start seeing how well specs perform. It's still a bit early to make a definitive call IMO and I'm sure things will change people start testing in NH too.

Outdated build, that's from 7.1.03 - you need the 7.1.5 build.

Will get this double checked, most likely just a minor error. Thanks!

It might feel like a nerf, but perhaps other specs have encountered a similar issue. You might find that nerf has put you alongside everyone else in a raid-setting.

I was just wondering how viable a windsong hailstorm build would be? any thoughts or anyone tried it out?

I think you missunderstood me. I compaired the build from 7.1.03 with the build from 7.1.5 in a SimulationCraft - Simulation. SimulationCraft tells me to keep the "old" build, because otherwise I would lose ~ 70k DPS.

You said you: "also updated Simcraft to v. 710-03" - If you are using this version of simcraft, it is out of date.

I'm certain it has been tested by Wordup and, given that it isn't the recommended build, I'd assume it has a lower output.

I was using the nightly builds for SimC for 7.1.5 as well as AMR's simulations. Granted, I know they're simulations, but I'm having both tell me to keep the old builds (BF, HS, Tempest, CS & Landslide). Though I'll say last night in Heroic EN I ran HH, AS, Tempese, FoA and Landslide, and felt really confident about the numbers, topping out on most fights (used to be competition from DK and Rogue). Though I'll say using that rotation is clunky and miserable. I feel a complete lack of, or need to micro manage my Maelstrom as compared to before where it was just overflowing from so many Stormbringer procs.

I was wondering now that FB is out of the rotation, what's better? The Eye's 4% damage increase with Haste/Mastery, or the 25% haste for 10 secs increase every 30 secs on sephuz, but with haste/crit

It seems like, just looking through the top parses from .1.5 so far, there is a pretty huge variety of builds. There are people running all 3 talents from a tier and all of them getting into the top 10. I guess we can only hope we'll get a solid "what is better?" answer before NH release. It might even be that there is simply multiple correct choices.

Simming the two is most likely the best bet for finding an answer, honestly.

When swapping overcharge for tempest with the 4pc, should I also pick Hot Hand instead of windsong,

Or does the flat stormbringer increase of windsong still outvalue the Hot hand synergy with 4pc?

Can the Hot Hand procs even trigger the t19 4pc?

All good questions and none of which I have an answer to! I'll ask Wordup and let you know :)

Here's the response from Wordup:

Quote

only impact on T15 talents is it allows for Boulderfist to be taken - so all 3 are equal.

4pc has no real synergy with HH over others because the 2pc leans into Windsong, so they cancel each other out.

Hot Hand procs can trigger T19 4pc, it's any LL cast.

Hope this helps somewhat :)

With the proposed changes at next week's reset for Enhancement is that going to affect if we take boulderfist and Hailstorm again?

Do we go back to the old set up? 

I can't work it out over simple number buffs alone :/

Will the guide be updated by next week to reflect this :D

As of right now, it's impossible to already say. There are many things to be tested prior to the release of the changes.

The guide will definitely be updated to reflect the changes when they go live.

      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.

      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.
