Is there a break point in which crit becomes the best stat? I see on guides crit as the generic best stat. Obviously you have to sim yourself but crit is always my lowest lol and it’s still terrible for me even if I’m close to 60% crit . So I guess I’m confused why it’s generalized our best if I ca...

why does your legendary set ups not match glinnys? He has archmage and wrists as 2nd best setup in his sims. im just trying to make sure we are reading the right info.

Glynny's sims are done with Rune of Power, mine are Incanters Flow. I believe his sims are also slightly longer duration.

For me the extra instants from PF's in combination with the new tier 1 talent make archmage superior to Koralon's for pre-patch. PF also helps in world PVP quite ...

i Notice it says to take pyroclasm and the the bracers are still BIS. so do you both take pyro and use the bracers?

Yes

Are pyroclasm procs still worth casting in combustion? I know bracer procs are but pyroclasm procs are 225% damage as opposed to 300% damage. Also, is searing touch worth taking if you have high crit (70%)? It looks really good for early bfa raids, but I feel like searing touch at 150% damage inste...
