Specifically I'm wondering which would be better between 880 whispers in the dark - 870 erratic metronome- 875 pharamere's forbidden grimoire  (with socket)- 865 swarming plaguehive (with socket)- and 940 kil'jaeden's burning wish.

Whispers/KJ.

Does the Soul Harvest talent work like other cooldowns for Warlocks, in that when you cast, say all your trinket procs, potions and then use Soul Harvest before casting something like Grimoire: Imp? Just trying to figure out if I should wait a bit and cast Soul Harvest and then my other cooldowns for a larger burst window.

You'll want to set up your imp etc. prior to popping SH for maximum effect.

Hey there,

Concerning the boss by boss strategies: dont you recommend using the legendary odr for wreak havoc?

Hoping your answer is "No", since I have the other Two recommended ledgys. XD

Under "Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities" "2.4. Soul Shard Generation and Consumption" it lists shadowburn as consuming a soul shard but it generates a soul shard.

The guide has a line that Eradication may be the best choice when using Feretory of Souls with T19 2-piece and a high Haste build. I have all of the above, and it does work, but there's also something to be said for Reverse Entropy with Soul Conduit too. The Shard generation is really impressive. You can get into these crazy burn phases where you are literally spamming Chaos Bolt, sometimes 10 in a row. I had one pull on High Botanist Tel'arn where Chaos Bolt did 60% of my damage.

If you can take advantage of it, then yes, definitely. It's incredibly strong where Wreak Havoc works well.

Will pass this on to Furty, see what he says - I don't play Warlock, so I can't really comment :p

It's probably not the top DPS choice, but it certainly is fun. The main thing you'd have to worry about with Eradication is needing to tap, and it's really not that bad. In 5 mans you hardly ever need to tap because you recover mana during the downtime. In a continuous raid encounter you spend maybe 4-5% of your GCD's tapping which still makes it a DPS gain given the 12% damage boost. But with the further reduced cast time with RE and never having to tap, that's stupid fun.

The key is really Soul Conduit. It makes a huge difference especially if you are able to multi-dot Immolate.

none of the guides have the actual weights anymore. The reason is that legion really borked with secondary stats both at launch and with patches. The issue is that depending on gear, legendary items, trinkets, etc, your stat values will bounce around rapidly. Like literally one piece change will make sims value a different stat one hundred fold. So while there are typically break points to shoot for (which for destruction I don't know) the atypically weight value system thing is pretty much dead. People are highly encouraged to self sim.

Just to add to Demon's comment:

If you are unsure of how to sim, you can always check out our Hunter Guide writer's video on it:

Hope this helps :)

I was wondering what your opinions of askmrrobot.com are concerning the best in bag features and their sim tool. I tend to get results that contradict the information in your guide. Particularly with legendary suggestions and stat priority.

When should I refresh Immolate? Just right before it expires or can I refresh it earlier? I didn't know if after a certain amount of time, the remaining damage from the buff carries over to the new one.

As far as I am aware, none of our guide writers use the AMR tool - they use SimCraft instead, as do most theorycrafters that provide information for the game. I don't use it myself and so I can't really explain the outputs it gives, I'm sorry. Have you tested it using SimC?

The trinket section seems very out of date? 

It is, yes - I would expect an update that will include ToS as soon as .2.5 comes out. I'm sorry that there hasn't been an update to it recently, but the BiS is up-to-date on what to aim for!

If you are using Roaring Blaze, focus on making sure that your Immolate buffed by Conflag stays on for as long as possible and that you don't overwrite it without another Conflag to buff it. Otherwise, you just maintain as required for the buff to stay on the target.

      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.

      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

      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.
