I usually sim my characters to get the best possible results. I enjoy the process quite a lot and since I reached 120, I wanted to find out the best build of the spec. (Note, I didn't want to find out what to play, but rather how my own build fares in comarison.) I rarely mind a 1-2% difference. If it goes above 2%, I really mind a change. What this thread is about is mainly to bring something in the attention of those who help making the class guides, especially the talent choices. To my surprise, I was awed to find out that certain talents outperform previous "Standard" choices in the endgame, probably due to the stat squish.

The Frost go-to build (top dps) would probably be along the lines of <Icy Talons / Cold Heart - Runic Attenuation - Frozen Pulse - Gathering Storm - Breath of Sindragosa>. What I found out primarily was that after the removal of legendaries, Cold Heart severely underperforms at most given situations resulting in a major dps drop due to the low mastery. Gathering Storm also suffers from the same problem and most of the times, Frostwyrm's Fury is better overall. The biggest surprise of them all, however, was that Inexorable Assault overperforms quite a lot, and is the first reason why I made the topic. I then started simming with the above in mind and I came across a build that some would not consider on par with top dog builds around the meta, which is the use of Horn of Winter which overperforms both its other two options when using the Breath build. Talent Sim can be seen here. Another intresting thing, which I loved, was that the 2nd best build uses Obliteration as a lvl 100 talent and no other build surpassed it (Other than the first one, obviously). So, I encourage frost players out there to give their other, less common talents a try. To the class guide author(s), I believe that the two "underdog" talents will earn their spot in the class guides.

Thank you for your time reading this.


 

Hi everybody,
I have some questions about stuffs Best in Slot for Rogue Assassination.
In the guid written by Fury in this link (https://www.icy-veins.com/wow/assassination-rogue-pve-dps-gear-legendaries-best-in-slot).
He said for head and Chest, you should choose these items:
Helm: Fanged Slayer's Helm
Chest: Hide of the Abyssal Behemoth
But I chose these items, because when you see characteristics and calculate them, it’s better (see below)
Helm: Lunar-Wrath Headgear (boss: Sisters of the Moon)
Chest: Fanged Slayer's Chestguard (Maiden of Vigilance)
In each item, you got Mastery and it’s the second best characteristics, but in items suggest by Fury you don’t have Mastery.
If someone could explain me, it would be graceful.
Stat priority:
1)      Agility
2)      Mastery
3)      Versatility
4)      Critical Strike
5)      Haste
Thanks,

Hey so as the title suggests I'm looking for a bit of information on the state of the specs for tomb as I have been asked to reroll to fill in some of the empty ranged spaces we have now found ourselves with in our mythic team and I'm curious as to which is going to be the overall "stronger" spec I know that is completely subjective 
but a general guide line as I am presently working on my frost weapon but I feel as though I should be working mainly on my arcane one due to changes that are coming but both of the specs are being "buffed" and fire seems to be trailing behind still 
I was just hoping someone with more experience as mage could run me through this so I can better decide for myself what I am going to do :)

Hi,
 
Heading into Nighthold for the first time tonight and now sure how to spec.
ST?
AOE?
MoC or Volley? Is Stampede worth taking?
 
Help please.

Wondering what's the best spec to level up as 1-100.  I'm gonna be playing Demo in the end, but I was thinking Destro is best for leveling.  Any help appreciated.  First post by the way, so hello all; love the guides.
