Destruction Warlock 7.3

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. 

It has generated stat weights that are particularly tailored to your character. Our guide lists general weights. If you have a particularly high or low amount of certain stats, it might force you to take a "non-desirable" stat, since a small increase in it will grant more DPS than continuing to stack a priority stat. This doesn't mean you need to be stacking it from now on and, in the future, you will likely see those non-desirable stats fall out of favour.

Stats are super mobile in Legion and completely change the weights of each other.

Reverse emapthy or whatever is wrong, it's 10 % damage not 5%

I'm unsure of where you are seeing this in the guide - I can't find it.

so i was reading through the legendary and BIS equip section for destruction lock and came across this

Unstable Arcanocrystal Icon Unstable Arcanocrystal remains an extremely strong choice, but only if you can obtain a very high item level titanforged version. Since most players will not be lucky enough to achieve this, it will be a rarity amongst Affliction warlocks this tier, though it does bear mentioning. Arcanocrystal is better than any other trinket it the game at equal item level due to the sheer amount of stats it provides.

it specifically sas afflicion locks even though its in the destro section. im sure the details of it are the same for all three specs hence it was copied and pasted but it could confuse some that we are in a destro section suddenly talkin about affliction locks.

Guest Missing Tier 3 Talnt

Looks like you are missing  Tier 3 talent called Eternal Struggle.  Passive:  After casting Life Tap, you take 12% less damage for 6 sec.

This is because it has no impact on DPS whatsoever, so it has no value when comparing upgrades.

Good job, but it seems Tier 3 Talent: Flames of SargerasFlames of Sargeras is missing too. 

The Artifact page has a line that says "any other damage relic" but since I included Fire From the SkyFire From the Sky it only makes sense we add Flames as well on the Crucible page. Thanks for the catch.

Hey, i have an important question: Why do you say that  Lessons of Space-Time is better than Soul of the Netherlord?? Because with the ring you are allowed to bring  Empowered Life Tap with you and it is 10% extra damage always, during all the fight. However, if you are using   Lessons of Space-Time it is only for your charges, and it is less than 50% of active time. I know shoulders have better stats and with  Empowered Life Tap you have to renovate constantly the buff, but still is worth it. 10% damage during all the time. For this reason, don't should be  Lessons of Space-Time and Soul of the Netherlord bis single?

It varies depending on build/gear. Lessons is always BiS on ST, Soul goes from being one of the best to middle of the pack. You can essentially view it as Lessons + Feretory or Lessons + Soul depending on your personal sims, but Lessons will always be there.

The Boss by Boss Strategies in the guide have not been updated for ToS. They are still showing for Nighthold. Will they get updated for ToS & ABT when it comes out?

I think this macros for Healthstone is must-have.

LMB - Use Healthstone, RMB - Create Healthstone

#showtooltip Healthstone
#show Healthstone

Do you have any update on this? With 7.3.2 released, I am guessing that ABT might be out Nov/Dec.

Thanks again!

Well, shouldnt any thought about Whisper in the Dark since it got nerfed, I think that Tarnished Sentinel Medallion should now be better in any case. Just my opinion.

Since the nerf, it now depends on gear setup rather than being straight up BiS. We do list Tarnished as better in our guide anyway though, and have since we first put the guide up.

Quote

Tarnished Sentinel Medallion Icon Tarnished Sentinel Medallion is currently the best available trinket for Destruction currently. The Mastery passive pairs perfectly with our The Mastery passive pairs perfectly with our Tier 20 4-piece bonus, and the active does a very potent amount of damage in and of itself.

It seems your opinion is right!

      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.
