God I want to link so many stream clips and videos about how much bracer procs influence our DPS but alas I won't be a shameless sellout. But seriously, what Ez said is accurate and without sounding like yet another one of those doucheb@gs that say "sim yourself", it really is the best way to figure...

Are there any mythic plus dungeons you targeted specifically to pick up heavy crit gear for your non-tier slots? I'm at ilvl 955 and I'm barely over 50% crit. I could pick up a little more through some re-gemming, but mastery is so good outside of ST it make me hesitant. Your best bet is to find Cr...

By any chance can you post a weak aura for Pyromaniac so you can tell when it procs?

Responded to you in you're thread

So there is no way to tell if it procs? Is that what you do every time you PB you just Spam PB and strafe out of it PB starts hard casting because it didnt proc? The way to tell it procs is when you throw out a pyro and get another one instantly xD That's why I'm saying you're essentially asking ho...

I mean, you'd basically be tracking Hot Streak. But if you're talking about tracking the actual "chance/probability" of the talent, then I don't think that's possible tbh. It's an 8% chance to reactivate. It's much easier to just get used to spamming your Pyroblast button, and a trick that helps a l...

The main thing I noticed is that my mastery dropped a bit in value for ST, and since I usually don't aoe on High Command I noticed a drop off there as well. I feel like on any individual pull we can overcome the "ignite nerf" due to our inherent randomness, and probably won't notice much. Might be ...

Sim's are only a "best case scenario" example of how a robot would act in a patchwork fight. Realistically.. we aren't going to play as good/as mechanically sound as a Sim output would tell you.. In regards to Beacon, it's hard to justify wearing a trinket that doesnt line up with Combustion when th...

There are more viable options for ST, but generally you never want to use it outside of Combustion. I'd probably say that Acrid/Norgannon's/Arcano are the go-to ST trinkets atm. But, the Beacon has huge potential on fights like High Command, Eonar, Portal Keeper (if your raid comp lacks aoe), and ev...

Yeah I'd probably stick to Firestarter until you reach around 65%~ Crit. Like I said the best way to tell if you've reached that "break point" is to take Pyromaniac and Kindling and get your Stat weights. As soon as Crit falls from being top priority, you know you're good (usually around 65-66%)

Regarding pyromaniac, if it procs while combustion is on cooldown, what do you do? Cast another fireball into pyro or something else? It WILL proc when Combustion is on cooldown (pray that procs as often as possible imo), and yes, usually weaving a Fireball with it is optimal, however sometimes due...

Preheet, aiming for these stat stacks and in general having your blueprint as a bullseye to aim for has added healthy incentive to this tier. I think I have just reached a spot with crit haste and mast where I can discontinue firestarter and have taken up pyromaniac. I think a good point was made a...

I've been trying to gear for this build, i'm no where near the crit needed for it yet (i'm at 55%) but i'm working on it....Firestarter is simming higher for me than Pyromaniac by almost 2% according to Raidbots....is this because I don't have enough crit yet?.... If you take Pyromaniac + Kindling ...

How does it change the rotation? So, in our normal rotation if we shoot a pyroblast off, do we wait to see if it procs pyromaniac and do an instant pyroblast? Or do we keep up the normal fireball --> pyroblast, so it just ends up saving a fire blast in our normal rotation? Then in combustion do we ...

For me, personally, after several weeks of mythics antorus, and having been mostly using this setup.. my sweet spot is currently 66% Crit, 23% Haste, 20% Mastery. That being said, on pulls where you're lusting on the rip, it's VERY easy to munch pyro procs when using Pyromaniac should you not be acc...

when do you cast PF? With the gloves, thats where I run into trouble. When you're running Gloves with this build, you're popping Combustion on the rip, so ideally your opener should look something like: Pre-pot Pre-cast Pyro ~4sec Combustion (+on use trinkets should you be running any) before it le...

Could you give us your simc export? I want to sim with your stuff and compare it to mine. Since i had the same "feeling" about the crit build. But actually using it, was a simc dps loss of around 70k. Here's my current ST Setup (Ring/Bracers) # SimC Addon 1.9.1 mage="Preheetxd" level=110 race=troll...

Here's a good write up about them if you're interested
http://www.wowhead.com/news=277048/ever ... n-trinkets

Unless it changed since yesterday, I believe Raidbots says number of "Aman'thul" trinkets in raid. not the number of role specific trinkets, meaning that you'd get an empowered proc even if you put it at 4 This is taken directly from Raidbots "SimC has built functionality to simulate the raid proc b...
