How do you go about adding in that much variation? Or do you mean you sim each of those then average the values together?

Just what you've said, a weighted average of multiple sets of results.

Regarding potions. Is deadly grace still the top dog for dmg? or PPP is now stronger, did anyone test that? For single target with RoP DG appears to still be on top, but PPP pulls ahead with 54 point weapons on cleave or with MI. These are early indications from simulations, so as always your milea...

So I have the latest nightly build (-715-01-win64-a0a9385). The previous one had all my stats weighted almost the same. The current version has me at this; 11.1 int 10.14 haste 9.56 versatility 8.35 crit 6.83 mastery This is just current gear from M+ and EN. Does this seem right? That looks typical...

i thought we are discussing about nighthold and bracer effectiveness in raid setting? I really don't see the issue as rune of power is not mandatory talent anymore, in fact mirror image simmed higher based on my own profile. I do agree playing with bracer is shit with dungeon affix volcanic. I am t...

To all those saying the Bracers will be impractical come NH .... do you still not cast 2 Fireballs in a row? Cause that's all it basically is. You just have to find the time to do it, and not cast it as soon as it procs Casting two Fireballs back to back and with enough advance notice to drop your ...

-snip- The bracers look great on a zero-movement target dummy sim, but they're completely impractical to use in NH on just about any encounter, especially Mythic and double especially when you're learning the fights. I agree. I just got Marquee Bracers last week but I'm thinking they'll be relegate...

Horror trinket was already very strong in M+. This should help quite a bit.

Twisting Wind could use a buff.

Sry i have to tell u, but i rarely see anyone using UM at any boss at all, even on the likes of Ursoc, and it still does like 0.2- MAXIMUM 1% dmg at all. And itll never ever do 1% on ilgynoth burst phase. Ur wrong. My UM on Ursoc was 1.6% and on the burst phase on Il'Gynoth was 1.1% (boss damage on...

At a minimum, these should be phenominal for M+ or more casual content.

snip. I'm on my phone so for brevity I'll touch exclusively on Il'Gynoth. First, UM is closer to 2% single target and its damage is always meaningful. Dominator Tentacles are spread too far apart to benefit from LB. Horrors are ST. Corruptors die before LB can detonate (assuming they're stacked), a...

For Mythic progression, I've used Conflag, unstable magic, and Kindling for every boss. Currently 5/7M. You can pad with Living Bomb on some encounters, but IMO the single target loss is too much to sacrifice for progression. You could make the argument for M Dragons, but Nythendra, Elerethe, Ursoc,...

Wait, the order of the bonuses doesn't matter? I've wasted so much time.

Finished my Mage Tier 3 set tonight. Woooooot!!

Downed M Elerethe last raid. If you're linked (web of pain) and neither you nor your linked player use a major CD, you'll take ~2M damage. Communicate and coordinate CDs with your linked partner. Ice Block works, as do external CDs. Damage is physical so you can call for BoPs if you're linked twice....

Travel time? The difference isn't enough to squeeze an extra pyro in though.

I two-chested an 8+ and cleared a 10+ last night. Using cooldowns on trash is key. Anything that will live long enough for your Combustion is worth using it on. My opener on packs has been Fireball (apply conflag) > LB > RoP > IB (if FB didn't crit) > PF > Combust with the Phoenix Flame midair Every...

I received an item from my Withered Army training that provides 50g per WQ completed while the Champion is assigned as a Combat Ally. (Potion of Triton IIRC, posting from phone) Archmage Vargoth gives a 1hr damage buff and is summomable every 5 minutes. I had been using the frost mage (Modera) but h...

I'll be there. I'll be wearing a t-shirt with my toon's name on the back.

If you see me, say hello! The bar at the Hilton wouldn't be a bad place to look.

I played Fire last night for the first time in a while (~6 mo). My offspec had been Frost, which I would typically play while doing dailies/CMs/PVP etc. After switching my spec back to Fire I raided the entire night with my Fishing macro (including equip fishing pole, which I didn't have in my bag l...

At this stage of the game I'd encourage you to play what you know. You'll need your attention focused on your survivability on H Paragons. There are a number of mechanics that can one-shot you if you're not anticipating them. Maybe pick up a Fire offspec and play with it in Flex if you can afford it...
