mmoc became horrible. not a single person here is able to just answer a really simple question.
the guy asked if and when it is worth to use hailstorm. is it that hard to just answer such a fukin easy question ? cheesus.
ofc he have to sim. it seems he get that (for his first part of question). no need to reply "sim it idiot" five times. and when you stretch your fingers to type something into a forum nobody sane person cares WHY op is asking, or dont sim, or do this or do that. it doesnt matter! just answer his fukin question or shut the fuck up. for real, i literally HATE ppl going to critize someones motives instead answering his fukin question. maaan...
at topic:
i dont have that much deeper exp in enh shaman. maybe someone with more exp here could help you. oh wait, they are to douchebag to do this. so, what i assume/believe is this:
- you never ever take hailstorm without aikanus.
- if you have aikanus, hailstorm is a slight, but not that great, single target dps increase.
- aikanu/hailstorm is only a dps increase for single target type fights. never use it for aoe fights.
- if you take hailstorm as talent, you always take hothand talent too.
if i forget something or something isnt correct, maybe ppl correct me instead of tell me to sim it...
ps:
and no, you definetelly dont have to sim that, because the dps differences are large enough to get an overall rule of thumb, regardless how much haste, mastery, etc. you have. in ST aikanus/hailstorm/hothand will always better or not as Legendary xyz, regardless if you have 28% haste and 61% mastery or 31% haste and 57% mastery, etc. and cause of this there is NO reason why just not answer his question. and even if not, then the dps diff is that small that you can still answer with "it dosnt really matter". the only reason for that shit texts is: ppl dont know it. and when you dont know it just write nothing instead that BS.
besides that, not all ppl play mythic on the 1% edge. the op could be an average guy playing just HC and want to know whats the best he could do with his stuff, without mathematical correctnes of 0,0001% or playing on the myth egde. if the diffs are that small, only a top myth raider care, tell him "dont matter". if not, tell him whats better. its not that complicated. damn it.
