What's the priority list when using the Eradication talent? What all should you be casting once you buff the target?

You will want to empower your Immolates using the debuff, otherwise just play as you normally would.

Will we see stat weights anytime soon?  At the moment im being forced to used the ones from noxxic.  I was hoping with the buffs to mastery that mastery stacking would be better.

Stat weights are a bit fluid and player/gear dependent so I've taken them down until we have something reliable to post. Mastery stacking is still a poor choice until you get the T20 4-piece, where it becomes your best stat by a near margin.

Just further to what Furty said above - it's worth using SimC to check your own weights, since they will differ from the general weights as well.

Do you care to explain a little more on Chaos Bolt usage? Do I need to cast it as soon as it's available or do I need to save up 4 shards and then dump them? Does it change with Eradication?

This is discussed in the guide:

  • Maintain eradication as much as possible.
  • If there is a burst window coming up, save shards to ensure maximum burst in a short period (such as the Gul'dan active ability or your personal CDs, such as a trinket or so).
  • If no window is approaching, use CB as the rotation priority describes.

Hope this helps :)

Do you think we can try to maximize mastery against haste/crit since mastery is not full rng anymore ? I know that with the new 4P, it'll be the case but can't we do it right now ? 

Also if haste has to be prioritized, is there any cap we have to reach ? I'm currently with nearly 35% haste but would i need to got it up ? 

Thanks

3.2. Havoc Usage

Havoc IconHavoc is one of your most important spells. Havoc copies any of your direct spells,

" however, it does not affect the Soul Shard generation of Conflagrate IconConflagrate (i.e you still get 1 Shard). "

 

Wrong, on both the shard generation and the shard (instead of shard bit) generation.

 

" Havoc is typically unaffected by range or line of sight requirements"

 

Wrong.

 

Also can you please replace the boss examples in the guide with Legion ones? Mentioning Tyrant Velhari from HfC, for example, won't say much to new players.

Of course you can, your damage will just suffer somewhat until the 4-piece is obtained.

Is the medallion better in all fights or would you take a over 900 whispers?

I'm seeing people pair it with whispers if they had erratic metronome before for example.

It's coming but it takes a little bit of time, as I have a lot of my plate with the constant updating of the guides themselves due to the ever changing nature of progress (discovering new builds, item interactions, etc.). Usually I get around to the boss specific advice once Mythic progress is over, as I have a much better idea and hundreds of pulls to draw inspiration from rather than just guesses in the dark.

Should we still be using mark of the claw after we obtain our tier 20 4-piece? Or should we switch to hidden satyr at that point? With haste no longer being our top stat I would assume satyr is better. Also I was curious about eradication vs empowered life tap, with our chaos bolts being so much stronger  with our 4 set would eradication now be the better choice for single target dps?

I think Claw is still on top, even with the stat shift - you can test it with https://www.raidbots.com/simbot for your character to be certain, though.

As for the talents, yeah, Eradication would be best for single target, with ELT becoming better with a higher number of targets as you can't maintain the debuff on more targets.

Excellent also I forgot to ask before about enchants. I saw above that we should be using mastery gems with the tier 20 4-piece. Does that apply to enchants and consumables as well?

Yes, Mastery becomes highest priority.

I went to the raidbots website as you suggested previously and used it to generate stat weights for my character. The results I got prioritizes haste and crit over mastery.  Here is the string https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jG1ZmzhWLzVNTxY7KX4bQz 

As this is most definitely not what is suggested in your guide I was hoping to get some insight.

      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.
