Fire Mage essence question

[Sburmuehl@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I am a bid confused about a sim regarding the essences via raidbots.

I thought that the 3rd rank of essence memory of lucid dreams is by far the best great essence.
But in my actual sim the 3rd rank of condensed life-force sims much better.

Could this be possible?

here my sim report results:

Unfortunately the link for your sim report is not working. Could you try updating it ?

So I did some siming on my own and the main reasons I could see are that contrary to the standard gear profile that is used by bloodmallet, herodamage etc., you are not using Hyperthread Wristwraps aswell as a third Azerite Piece with Blaster Master. Both of which scale exceptionally well with Memory of Lucid Dreams.

A small increase may also be due to the lack of an Overwhelming Power trait, but that should be negligeable in regards to the essence choice.

In the following sim I only switched your current https://www.wowhead.com/item=174234/man ... :31:546:13 with https://www.wowhead.com/item=159252/gra ... 5:30:15:13 and https://www.wowhead.com/item=174953/vil ... 3&ilvl=440 with https://www.wowhead.com/item=168989/hyp ... :1517:4786: https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/ ... 2j2xSJpoGs

As you can see the build with Memory of Lucid Dreams is now only ~200 DPS below your current one.

HOWEVER

This definetly shows that Condensed Life-Force is the best option for your top gear right now, so I would just trust it and roll with that.

Hope this helps
