What do you think about it?

For both questions, you can find the most accurate answer for your character here: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot

It will tell you which trinkets perform better for what you have, as well as giving you stat weights for your character :)

Tier 2 Talents

Reverse Entropy now boosts Chaos Bolt and Rain of Fire damage by 10%, not 5% as of June 2017 (was 8% for a short time before they upped it) Given that this is a static boost (no timer), it should make this talent at least on par with the other two (+15% dam for 7 secs; and +10% for 20 secs) if not the better choice, given rate of fire.

I'm using t20 2 set and t21 4 set as destro, with Feretory and Soul of the Netherlord as leggys. This means my stat prio is Haste >= Crit, giving me insane ember generation from 40% haste and the 2 sets. With that I can easily have 100% uptime on Eradication, making Soul of the Netherlord a clear winner for single target. However, I'm still not completely reassured that I won't end up having to go back to t20 4 set and start the painful process of gearing Mastery again. I hoped you could shed some light on what is best:
T20 4 set and T21 2 set, Mastery/haste focused. (4x 925* pieces, 2x 960 pieces)
T20 2 set and T21 4 set, Haste/crit focused. (2x 925* pieces, 4x 960 pieces)

*T20 pieces count as iLvl 925 to make up for probably not getting mythic shoulders from Avatar.

Hello guys!

Can you help me, why should I choose +200 haste gem instead of intellect? Intellect is the no1 stat, haste is just the second one. Maybe at higher ilevel, the haste is more important because of the generation of sould shards? Or why?
Thanks!

The text needs to be updated and I've let Furty know, but the talent is still worse than the other two. The evaluation was done with live numbers. The only fight you'll ever touch RE on is Eonar, and only outside of Mythic.

AFAIK, T21 4-set will continue to outclass T20.

Sorry I didn't catch that earlier, but I'm glad you figured it out!

Well i don't figure it out, can you explain why you would pick a less weighted stat on a gem slot?

So, for +200 Haste, it is clearly better than +200 Intellect in almost every single comparison because of Haste having a higher stat weight, right? 

In order for the +150 Haste gem to be better than the +200 Intellect, you'd need a Haste stat weight of higher than 1.33 against an Intellect stat weight of 1. This (normally) isn't the case, but you can be certain for your character if you sim your stat weights using RaidBots.

Hope this helps clear it up a bit :)

Well i'm not @ home and i disconnected in Affli, but with a rapid stat weight on RaidBot, here is what i obtain :

Mastery  39.51
Haste    37.72
Crit     35.68
Vers     29.58
Int      22.21

I assume that in destro, the order and the weght will be slightly diferent, but gosh, intellect is so for behind.... 

With this sims the +150 versa gems is just a bit sworse than the unique +200 intellect (and that's a thing!)...

I'll retry with my destro play (which i main) later but i can't figure out when u will prefer a gem +200 intellect instead a +200 haste.

 

PS you can check by yourself on my profile, legoret -sinstralis (EU) (~960ilvl)

As the amount of intellect you have from your gear increases (read: as item level increases), it becomes less valuable. I'll ask Furty to put in a note.

Quick question, why do you have the boots from Aggramar listed as BiS when they give Haste and Mastery but the boots from Portal Keeper give Crit and Haste when Crit is above mastery in value?

Because stats aren't linear/static in their relationships with DPS. While Crit > Mastery might be true in a general scenario, the H/M boots might be better while simming with the gear set that is there. It's why BiS lists are so difficult to create now. The boots are best in slot if you have every other piece as we list it, in each slot, without any massive titanforging happening. 

This may not be true if your gear is different, however. The BiS list shows the highest possible DPS output with gear from Antorus.

Heya,

I know the overall guide is a bit outdated, but in the opening sequence, can't we cast another LifeTap (if it is empowered by the talent) before the pull to benefit from pandemic (that's a small gain, I agree ^^")

You can, yeah, it won't make a difference if you need to tap again just after the pull, but there's no reason not to. It's an extra 5s.

This guide will be updated for the release of the pre-patch of Battle for Azeroth in the next few days. We are aiming to have every guide deployed prior to the patch going live.

Please note that a new feedback thread will be created for the new guide, meaning that this one will be archived. Any feedback you have for the new guide should be placed in the new comment thread.

Thank you all for your patience and we are working to get the new guides up as soon as possible.

      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.

      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.

      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.
