Dropping PC at 0 AC is not a DPS gain.Dont take UM, drop your crystal at 0 stacks, spam AB's at the crystal and dont use SN until it procs or attack the boss in any way shape or form.
Even with this you still only have about 50% chance for it to proc on the crystal.

Pretty sure having mark of doom go on your crystal at 0 stacks is better then having it go on the boss at 2 stacks.
But you can't even be sure about that because the UM and PC "cleave" on the boss can procc MoD?! And it's not like dropping PC at 0 is without its downsides. You have to cast two more shitty ABs into your crystal, you lose your precast AB and potentially give up an AB(4), because you use PoM early, you also have two AB cast's worth of AM proccs less for your crystal.Dropping PC at 0 AC is not a DPS gain.Dont take UM, drop your crystal at 0 stacks, spam AB's at the crystal and dont use SN until it procs or attack the boss in any way shape or form.

You got to sim that because unless I missed something, by reducing the stacks from 4 to 3 at the triggering of the crystal I got a small DPS advantage, and it was even an advantage at 2 if I recall correctly. It was also surprising that any such change was not a big change on DPS. But it is true that Unstable Magic can ruin it anyway so there's that.You have to cast two more shitty ABs into your crystal
I did when this stuff was first being suggested, and it is why I'm telling you it is a DPS loss.I have no idea how to use simcraft, but it shouldn't be hard to test a 30 second fight where:
1. Crystal at 0 stacks and mod on PC
2. 4 AB, PC and mod on boss at 1, 2 or 3 ABs.
right?
'Again, it can impact Prismatic Crystal and is affected by all player multipliers, including Mana Adept.'Hi, my apologies if this was covered earlier, but is Doom Nova affected by the +20% spell damage from Arcane Power? More generally, do all +spell damage increases affect Doom Nova?
No one is debating if 0 stack or 4 stack is better, obviously 4 stack is better, but if you getting to 4 stacks means a MUCH higher chance of MOD going on the boss is it really worth it?.I've been dropping at 0 stacks lately and most of the time in raids the proc usually procs on boss which is very annoying and resul.............
I don't get why this is such a common sentiment when your literally first AB casted on the boss has a pretty high chance of proccing MoD. Since when did "almost always" become "if you're lucky"?however dropping PC at 0 giving it 2 AB's will almost always proc MOD on your PC
Yes. The maximum will be achieved by that. But if u are unlucky your dps is screwed. People who are farming mythic have the advantage to take this risk. People on progress shouldn't do it.Worth noting that currently pretty much all top parses are dropping PC at 0 charges. I see this changing as people dropping PC at 2-4 charges get their lucky pulls with set bonuses & Prophecy proccing on crystal.

, SN, SN then unload your AMs in to the boss, then AB on PC, POM, AB as it goes away and then carry on like normal on the boss.link?Worth noting that currently pretty much all top parses are dropping PC at 0 charges.

Yeah screwed is maybe the wrong word. It ofc depends also heavily on the fight length and your general performance. In a 3 minutes fight the opener is more valuable than in a 8 minutes fight. And ofc you can aim AMs to boss if MoD procced on him. In the end its just a min/max game. You can go a safe way with +-5k DPS or the risky way of +-10k DPS. (all values are out of air). In the end everyone has to decide which way he takes. For toplogs you go the risky way and pray. Thats all.Yes. The maximum will be achieved by that. But if u are unlucky your dps is screwed.

I wouldn't say screwed. PC at 0, AB, AB, MOD goes on boss
Obviously not ideal, but better to shine once or twice on a boss then to be just average constantly.
