And a 2k dps loss on 10 targets

#

But that's only raw dmg, defensively speaking a stat ring will prove more useful

granite pond
#

I'm still using mine but did drop the eranog ring for a 441

408* eranog

strong forum

Ye 408 eragon gets replaced quickly

My 421+socket eragon is Still going strong until 7 targets

#

When simming dungeon cleave (i know its not optimal), then melee is 12.6 % of my overall. however in reality, its more like 5 %. Where does this insane discrepancy come from?

#

Is it the same for your sims? That they are way different than reality, especially when it comes to for example melee dmg?

#

I mean the other numbers are actually quite accurate

sick sentinel
#

halls of valor is a based dungeon and im a bit sad i missed legion because of that now.

#

it's really such a great dungeon

spring ermine
#

It's a cool dungeon, yea

strong forum
#

It's included into melee dmg in Sims

#

And you didn't have wft or monk buff in your dungeon

#

And dungeon slice has WAY less aoe than an actual dungeon has

#

Unless you compare to neltharions lair or vortex pinnacle

strong forum
#

thats my breakdown of VP

#

damage breakdown is almost exactly the same as sim

#

forgot to sim with annulet

#

dungeon slice is not very representative of a setup for us because its a very poor environment compared to actual keys

#

because of this

#

tiny pulls for ABSOLUTELY mega short durations

#

as the name suggests, its only a dungeon slice 6min short dungeon with super short durations but a very long bossfight compared to trash pulls

#

About Incorpoeral and warror dont have an CC issue: Just hardcode the ghost to take 40 sec stun from Strombolt. Do you think that will work?

strong forum
#

they specifically dont want you to use stuns that would take away from a possible CC rotation as needed for pulls, atleast that's my interpretation

#

thats why they picked shattering throw

#

but yes it would be really nice if they just had a 400% CC duration increase on them

trim bloom
strong forum
#

I've never recommended it for actual simming, the dmg breakdown looks alright for dungeons like neltharions lair and vortex pinnacle

#

I don't think it'll be too inaccurate tbh, but make sure to sim your actual realistic buffs

#

With going full buff on everything you're just fooling yourself for your sim to look bigger rather than being accurate

#

For longer and bigger pulls just play around with larger target counts on patchwork with varying durations. Anywhere from 5 to 10 targets and 1 to however minutes you like

It's believed the hotfix was reverted due to the DK one being able to cause a 99% damage reduction on bosses.

so now that i have broken the old 4 set, got new 2 set. it should be fine to swap the last 2 pices from old tier for higger ivl loot? def standpoint

i'm running 2x2

i wasnt gonna replace my last season tier until i get a tier item for the slot

yeah thats generally whats recommended

22 until you get new 4pc or you sim higher without old 2pc

i have 2 items ready to go if i get unlucky and need the catalyst

across 2 HC and 2 normal runs our guild had a total of 3 warrior tokens drop

#

For trinkets I have Raid Horn, Chaos Grapnel, Heart of Thunder, and Pocket Anvil. Which would you guys use for ST and AOE?

#

I've done some simming, I'm just curious

#

I know heart doesn't sim well but it has been doing 5k dps on some M+ runs

strong forum
#

Anvil and grapnel for ST

#

Heart of thunder and anvil for m+ if you can maintain the 5 stacks of anvil

#

But it's really close between heart of thunder and grapnel in m+ aswell

#

The Str on grapnel makes it pretty much equal if not better than heart of thunder in aoe

knotty stump
#

What about a heart/grapnel combo?

#

I'll have to try it out

strong forum
#

Anvil shoots turbo ahead if you can maintain the 5 stacks of it

is there an easy way to sim droptomizer with dps loot spec for tank? seems to only sim the tank trinkets for me? or is the only way to add manually?

strong forum
zealous spade
strong forum
#

the difference is

#

vial is meh on ST

#

anvil and grapnel good in ST, and barely lose to vial in aoe

#

so overall throughout a key, you just gain more from the ST trinkets

#

the diff between anvil and vial is just 0.19% on aoe

#

however on ST the diff is 3%

What happened last night? I heard shattering thow got amped against the affix and then it got reverted. What happened to make it revert?

granite pond
#

I believe the DK "fix" was causing issues with totally unrelated stuff. I suspect they'll bring it back once they figure out the bugged interactions (even though shattering is objectively utter shit as a "fix" compared to what DKs are getting)

strong forum
#

they'll prolly fix it once theyre back in the offices again

#

which isnt for another 2 days

#

and then itll prolly be hotfixed on tuesday

#

so dont plan on it being usable this week

craggy pilot
#

they should just make our Intimidating Shout usable on them, but only if you "target" it

Shattering throw seems kinda weird as a fix

ok does it interact with the buff/ 15 sec thing you need to upkeep

does using the aoe refresh the buff perhaps

yes

interesting

vocal nimbus

and its maintained in combat

so you can spread it as much as 30sec

between packs

interesting

vocal nimbus
#

you have around 14 seconds to pull between pulls to keep the stacks up

or press the on use

which refreshes it

is it actually worth pressing it in an emergency to keep the buff up or is it used on cd anyway sort of?

i save it for a bit of extra off gcd damage

ok

but if you are going to lose the buff

More casts = more dmg

actually let it go off

obviously try and get as many mobs as possible... is each target equal, the targeted one takes same amount right

strong forum

If you miss out on 1 cast over the course of a key because you held the CD to get it on 5 mobs instead of 2-3 mobs it's just not worth

toxic pewter

ok

and they all have unique chance to crit

i think

like 3 out of the 5 can crit i mean for example

Yes

toxic pewter

ok

But it's split dmg, remember

A crit on 1 target is better than a crit on 2/5

Does spell reflection reflect the full damage or only a percentage I'm just wanting to know

cerulean tusk
#

SR either works as a 20% DR, a full reflect, a partial reflect (reflects often DoT and not instant damage), or it can deflect (you take no damage, but return none either)

steel crystal
#

Ah so does it reflect whatever hits first then?

cerulean tusk
#

In PvE you reflect the first reflectable hit (and all other hits in that one 0,5sec window). So you can in theory reflect a billion casts, if they hit you at once. Like imps in court.

steel crystal
#

Ah ok what about beams attacks does that still falls under the reflect (channel spells)

#

For example like the end boss in hol

cerulean tusk
#

Some abilities will reflect, and continue channeling unto its source. Others cancel and some just reflect a tick.

steel crystal

Ah ok thanks for the info
