is terror from below that good? I am currently crit capped the set of trinkets i am wearing is a pvp versa badge (925) with socket, brinewater slime with crit (helya) 930 with socket. got a 920 terror from below with socket. Judging from zulandia's chart the terror should be a lot better than the s...

You use the trinket on cooldown. When using Kindling it's never good to delay combustion. The whole point of Kindling is to get as many combustions off in a fight as possible so delaying it to wait for Owl trinket is counter productive. After the first combustion/trinket are used then you just use t...

You are right. The difference is small but still your opener is dps loss even that the difference will be 1000 dps. If you are good analysis and math expert you can prove that your opener is dps gain compare to my opener. Norrinir proved it for you. Also 1000dps is negligible when we're doing over ...

Thank you for your guide and effort. Nevertheless, I do not agree with your calculation on your opener. Your opener is dps loss and it was proven a lot of time from top mages and sims. You should always precast frost bolt =>forb=>ebonbolt =>BF=>IL. Not only ebonbolt wíl miss buff from frozen orb as...

Hi Guys, I always thought that 'Worgen' is best Racial for DPS on Alliance side, because most fights involve movement and the Racial allows you to replace weak instant casts with stationary spells. However, almost no one from the top rankings is Worgen. Are those veteran players who created charact...

Sorry guys a question: do you have a link for downloading Elvui?

Just google Elvui. One of the first links should take you to the downloads page.

I'm just under the crit cap and the one non-critting Ebonbolt on the Goroth fight was followed by a flurry (EB starts cast at 1:45, flurry at 1:48). You missed 8 Icelances that could have shattered. 49 total chances for a shatter Icelance but only 41 casts. If you get a Fingers and BF proc at the s...

Use raidbots.com. They have an option for best gear that can let you answer those questions.

Off the top: Your mastery is waaaaaaayyy too high. Try your best to drop all that mastery, it's a worthless stat. You missed 8 Icelances that could have shattered. 49 total chances for a shatter Icelance but only 41 casts. You aren't shattering your Ebonbolts. Every Ebonbolt should be followed by th...

Katsumi you are definately mistaken. You probably need to re-read the tier 21 4 set buff. It says clearly that "After consuming brain freeze, the damage of your NEXT frostbolt/ice lance is increased by 75 %". So technically you need to consume brainfreeze to apply that buff to yourself. It doesnt s...

I don't know what more you want. If sims are showing you something in a patchwerk ST fight are better, then in that scenario in game you're going to have the better result with Owl/chrono. Also depending on where your stat weights are it could be why it's valuing the chrono shard more as it has more...

Hi, I been using AMR BiS finder and getting strange results. Every guide Ive read states crit should be the lowest value. AMR just keeps piling up crit. Even with firestarter and belt selected it wants to drop t20 4p and stack crit. I test it on a dummy and yep, its a dps loss. What is goin on? Als...

1. There's a Q&A Subforum that your question could be in to get more visibility by people looking to answer questions. 2. Sim yourself. Raidbots.com makes it easy. You'll find the 4pc bonus is almost always going to be worth it. Maybe if you're talking 30+ilvl differences on tier gear to the non-tie...

I finally got to my crit cap (33.34) and Ask Mr. Robot best in bags is telling me to swap out my ring gems and enchants from Crit to haste. That would leave me at 30% or so crit. Should I listen to Mr. Robot or tell him to suck it? You can check it against raidbots.com if you want. Raidbots.com use...

So, any reason why nobody is posting in this thread anymore? I'm using Glacial Spike with great success (for my own standards, doing only HC content), so it can't be that the playstyle suddenly has ceased being relevant. Why no 7.3 update? Or is it unnecessary, everything going "just as planned"? I...

Pre-pot > Precast Ebonbolt > IV at end of Ebonbolt > Flurry > IL > Orb Technically speaking, it's slightly more optimal for a human to do this opener as pre-pot > Precast Ebon > Flurry > IV asap > IL > Orb. It's better to do it this way, because both ebonbolt and flurry will still both benefit from...

Found the reason for the negative haste: seems I go oom. Sorry for straying off topic a little. Here's the sim: https://www.raidbots.com/reports/nd383X5gsk59m31nDXHB9h/index.html To your question on why high crit values shoulders. I got the answer from Ezeke when I asked him about a sim of mine tha...

Was looking over Ezekielyo's guide since getting my latest Lego. In terms of lego priority it shows the belt (which I have) and shard as top choices aside from the bracers which I still don't have, but yet when I sim myself it's saying to use the lego shoulder's instead of shard, even though in the...

Except that vers food (DMF fish food) is not 375 vers, it's 475 vers. So taking the numbers above you have 11.4k dps for the vers food or 10k dps for int.

I was not aware of Darkmoon faire vers food

Almost every toplog for fire is IF instead of ROP, however ROP sims higher for me personally? Am i missing something or is IF way better? It's simming higher because you pick a patchwerk fight with little to no movement as the default sim profile. RoP will always shine when you can sit in it for th...
