#

wind mason
#

somber path
#

digital berry

jaunty blaze

#

chat are we back

gray bear
#

Is Lily bis for M+ or is there an updated list somewhere?

jaunty blaze
#

sim tells you whats bis

#

dont follow a list

gray bear
#

I'm not, just wondering if I got what is considered the bis in my vault. It does sim the best so I took it

jaunty blaze
#

Okayeg 👍

#

bis is an outdated concept there are many possible gearsets that will sim within margin of error

ionic oak
#

true dood

gray bear
#

True. I just don't usually go out of my way to farm stuff, but it's always nice to feel "done" with a slot like getting max myth tier in a slot

delicate perch
#

lily is a good on use for m+ ya

#

forge will generally be better for keeper/raid

gray bear
#

Yea forge is what I had. Guess I can keep it for raid and sim both

#

I only do heroic so not a huge deal probably

delicate perch
#

lily should beat it for ec/m+ sims

jaunty blaze
#

nah doesnt matter much for hc

delicate perch
#

crit stinky for ec

digital berry
#

bro the one pull i crit every single amped surge on araz

#

shit goes down the drain

delicate perch
#

first time?

jaunty blaze
#

its always the good pulls

torpid skiff
#

fucking kill me

#

a 1h that i have, a belt and whatever the fuck that trinket is T_T

jaunty blaze
#

what stats is that belt

torpid skiff
#

high crit low mast

#

looks like a socket tbh

covert coyote
#

belt kinda slaps

jaunty blaze
#

it do be nice

torpid skiff
#

arent we crafting the belt

covert coyote
#

those are the stats you want tbh

#

for raid st* if you dont raid then yea not great

torpid skiff
#

this should answer the question lol

jaunty blaze
#

you dont need to craft belt

covert coyote
#

yea that "we" confused me

#

if you can pug first boss mythic it drops a huge mastery belt

pulsar trout
#

next week for sure

torpid skiff
#

for suuuuuuure

digital berry
torpid skiff
#

yea that belt sims segnificantly lower compared to the delve belt

#

rip

#

is it really a socket then

covert coyote
#

take the trinket or no balls

river galleon
#

Is Antenna still BiS for us?

digital berry
#

it is

#

nice vault

torpid skiff
#

belt gives 1k dps at 5/6 myth only, do i take it long term or slam a socket

soooo i guess that's something

lethal sedge
#

Is jastor diamond still bugged?

digital berry
#

yes

lethal sedge
#

ty

pallid idol
#

bugged in what way

jaunty blaze
#

Stats wont apply as intended

pallid idol
#

that seems like a buff for sure

#

because there's 3 entries in combat log now for starsurge when youre not pressing starsurge at all

#

im pretty sure the 1.6 and 1.5 are the bug fix

#

and the 3.1 is the main extra starsurge

#

so this bug fix seems like a ~3% aoe upgrade?

normal pilot
#

only the 1.5% is the splash

#

in real dungeons it's ~1%

pallid idol
#

the first starsurge entry is for sure the actual starsurge casted from the spell

#

the other 2 have to be the splash

#

what else could that be?

normal pilot
#

no you're reading it wrong

#

the first entry is combined

pallid idol
#

ok i see

#

so the 4 set starsurges are only giving 1.5% when they split

#

....shit

cloud lion
#

Is voidglass kris good?

#

Got it in vault but have 2h crafted

jaunty blaze
#

What item track

cloud lion
#

Mythic

#

U think i would ask if its hc

upper anvil
#

Yes

jaunty blaze
#

Plenty people do

upper anvil
#

You'd be surprised on questions folks ask

cloud lion
#

I can change 2h crafted into haste mastery for m+ i guess

#

And getting 3 weeks in row head

#

But not the one i want

sinful surge
#

getting more head than the rest of us glorp

lucid olive
#

Even at hero track with a crafted offhand it's equal to crafted staff

#

At myth track with crafted offhand it's basically the best weapon you can get

cloud lion
#

Or just to sim ir

#

It

lucid olive
#

Antenna and Araz yes

#

The Voidcore isn't that good

#

Voidcore maybe better if you play EC and use double passives

#

Cause Araz isn't that good for EC, but it's really fucking good for KOTG in raid

Damn fucking Wednesdays and same confusions🤣
I need advice to choose my vault
I will send below screenshots and sim result
As of the context, my focus in Mythic raiding and ST.
This week we will do last heroic reclear, mentioning this regarding the catnip feet item
Currently I have 2 vers/mastery rings, which is bad and maybe that is why the sim for Alpha ring is so high
I think the choice is between Dawn Feet (which is M+ loot bis) and the Alpha ring
I am myself in favour of the Feet and max upgrade it, since I am not in the top of loot chain of my guild, so catnip feet, either Heroic or Myth are hard to come by. Unless heroic catnip feet is better than myth Dawn feet, then I will farm it every week, fingers crossed though
So wanted to ask experts opinion here.
My Mastery is still low, which I guess I need Myth Neck from HoA one day
In the sim I added this week 90 crests and set to upgrade to max possible

im begining to doubt simbot again

its telling me to recraft my rings to mastery/crit

#

when im already 12k crit and only 6k haste

#

before antenna procs

#

is haste no longer good for st?

normal pilot
#

it's not

#

you're doubting the wrong thing

#

what you shoudl be doubting is mistakening thinking "X stats is good/bad"

jaunty blaze

Im below 4k haste

It is what it is

Scrolled back and checked top rankings on logs, seems like we need to prio haste, crit/vers and haste is whatever now (subject to sims)?

Makes sense given my sims and DPS, but I think I need to figure out raidbots a bit to get the most out of it

As of August 30th, 2025 the Dungeon Slice sim option on Raidbots was Disabled for Havoc Demon Hunters. In turn, I made this brief guide for running a Dungeon Route simulation, which is a better and more accurate sim though Mythic+ sims are always going to vary in accuracy.

Anyone know how the voidglass set is performing (weapon with crafted OH & trinket) for keeper builds? - both hc

I have crafted staff atm (paired with hc priory trinket & champ astral antenna)

definitely not any of the raid items

#

do you know how to sim?

pants in mythic

#

or ring in champ

round field

your choices are the trinket and pants

#

either take pants and turn them into tier piece from catalyst

wet field

that's nobrainer to take pants tbh - trinket is not as good as it used to be

round field
#

it was never good

but for future vaults it would be good to know how to sim your vault

there was just no other choice

# scenic socket raid is less bad to switch 0.6%

The hc dagger is only competitive in ST scenarios and mostly when fully upgraded to 710. The effect doesn't really scale in aoe, hence higher ilvl / more stats on a crafted 2h are easily outperforming it there

the game is better when stacking haste is correct imo

the reason you optimize for raid is to kill bosses

#

once you've killed all the bosses you can acquire all the gear

#

with the gear you can play your little minigame at +20 difficulty

lofty depot
#

I doubt they play their mini game at +20 difficulty

#

That's hard content dawg

lost violet
#

go for crit mast/vers and be useless in m+ but you can do some more dmg on bosses in raid which would have been killed in both scenario you doing 4.5mil or 5.2mil.

or you make yourself the most powerful in an overall scenario and do decent in raid

bad bait

i'd ban you if i was mod

Hey guys, for someone looking to do some keys and raid with no tier from S2 or S3 for the next week or so, is there any optimization to the build I can do to squeeze out some more damage?

sand rivet
#

Look, this is probably a turbo long shot... but, would anyone be willing to break down this spec for me in like a discord voice channel? Specifically my single target rotation for raid as I seem to do pretty well in M+. I switched to balance this season from hunter looking for a fresh role, but my damage in raid is nowhere near where it needs to be. I have watched many guides but still seem to struggle. Thanks! (Also hoping a turbo raid pumper can help me with this one)

Yeah logs tend to be easier to look through imo

round field

what am i gonna tell him

#

do this opener

#

dont cancel casts

#

always cast

#

spec is turbo braindead

sand rivet
#

thats valid advice

lucid olive
#

and that's why nobody really bothers doing it

sand rivet
#

I think my rotation after my opener is where im losing damage

lucid olive
#

you do enough log reviews you see that a lot of the same mistakes repeat

round field
#

theres really nothing to do

#

dont overcap ap

bleak dew
#

Also as a flex player myself playing a few specs at a high level, walking through cast timelines will likely be the most useful imo for going from 60 to 95 mythic parsing

round field
#

keep up dots

#

keep casting

#

you have no procs to react to or anything

sand rivet
#

Im bursting like crazy, but after that im falling to like 3.5m

dry compass
lucid olive
#

Always be casting
Dots -> Eclipse -> Spender -> Generator
Look at boss timer, know when mechanic that forces movement happens -> Use high value instant casts for movement (Starsurge/Starfall)

bleak dew
sand rivet
#

Im gonna pug a heroic raid and just work on rotation. ya i played bm and mm so i was basically always moving so having to plant is a struggle

dry compass
#

if you're weak enough at the rotation that you feel like you need serious individualized coacing

#

you probably just need more reps

#

sit on a dummy, do 90s, review your cast order for major fuck ups

sand rivet
#

bro ive killed the dummy in dorm close to 5000 times

#

dude is beyond dead

dry compass
#

and is your cast order perfect in those reps?

bleak dew
#

Yeah I think a super important key point for many casters, balance included, is learning when and how to move during instant casts. It something not obvious on the dummy but for balance right you get free movement right when you enter eclipse and are starsurging down, and on every star surge

dry compass
#

like, sitting on a dummy for 5 hours if you're not actively reviewing WHAT youre doing to find the issues isn't helping

#

its just reinforcing muscle memory of bad habits

lucid olive
#

I have pugged a lot of heroic raids even when I'm saved

#

Just to get reps

bleak dew
#

So if you’re on dummy you need to force yourself to move after each star surge, every dot refresh, every treants to get the rhythm

sand rivet
#

ya i guess im just not 100% sure what the rotation should be after the opener

lucid olive
#

Read the Compendium guide in pins and channel description if you haven't

dry compass
#

and in raid that's a dead boomkin

#

it's good to know that you CAN move freely during those GCDs, the next step of that is how can I think 10-15s into the future of the raid fight and make sure those GCDs are avaialble to me when the fight dictates that I move

#

Loomithar for example, if my sunfire is within pandemic range and I COULD refresh now, but there's puddles coming in 2s, I will wait to refresh and do so when puddles come out and I may need a movement gcd
