7.3 Netherlight Crucible Effects

[skeletonpoop]

Do you still care about the relic effect ? for example, would you equip a relic that enhance your shield just because the netherlight crucible effect is better ? Or do we have to sim them all ?

am wondering same thing. let it go + shield vs. torment and nondps traits

The only way to know for sure would be to sim. Raidbots has a nice relic compare ui that makes it easy

Keep in you backmind that wimc is nice and all for best dps but on progress survival is probably more important as dps. As if your dead you wont do dps annymore and that extra survival for argus progress might help your guild out aswell so dont only think in the box of i need more dps . Wen your guild is hitting enrage on bosses than it woult time to equip the dps relics so just keep some spare relics in your baggs id say that hase dps traits

That said relics dont drop from the sky if your as lucky as me

Hotfix yesterday increased Dark Sorrow's damage by 40%. I wonder if that's enough to bump it up from last place on the chart.

Napkin math show it will buff it up a little but only to bump it 1 place to be 2nd worst option (and not even that for arcane)

Napkin Math used was to compare the Dmg Diff between No Trait Dmg to Dark Sorrow Trait Dmg
and then add 40% more on that diff

IE Frost dmg base 1514K, Dark Sorrow 1521K
Diff 7K, with 40% buff it will be 9.8K, final dmg 1524 which is better than Master of Shadows and almost equal to Shocklight

Raidbots have a nice relic compare tool which allows you to mix and match relic+crucible+2nd slot effects

ok here is something interesting - comparing 2nd tier and 3rd tier dps differences:



apparently, the 2nd trait does make less of a difference than what 2nd tier you get.. kind of counterintuitive for me tbh
