(Ret Smash) Which talents for which boss? (Highmaul)

[JSMaTT]

Greetings Ret Smashers,

I'm looking for insight on which talents and glyphs work best for each boss encounter within Highmaul. More specifically, HW vs SW vs DP & Seraphim vs FV.

If there's already a thread on this, I apologize in advance.

Thanks for your input!

I'm not having any luck finding it int he 70+ pages. Hopefully someone can find the page and link it.

use W/E talents give you the damage your guild needs, not what you think will give you the most padding dps.

It depends on your gear

Which Talents work best where depend on your gear and you play style and your skill level. I personally h8 Seraphim, and even thought it Sims to be the highest talent when partnered with SW, when I try it I perform worst because I just don't enjoy it. On single target I much prefer using SW or DP with EmpS. On Cleave I like FV partnered with HA or SW. I change it up every week so far.

This week I did:

Kargath: SW+EmpS
Butcher: SW+EmpS
Brakenspore: HA+FV
Tectus: HA+FV
Twins: SW+FV
Korgath: SW+EmpS
Imperator: SW+FV

Weapon better than gear = FV + DP/HA
Gear better than weapon = Seraphim + SW
Equivalency between gear and weapon = Seraphim + SW/HA

Also on page 1 of the 6.0 PvE Guide, you can find the graph where it shows which combination of lvl 75/100 sims at what dps.

General overview:

Sera + SW/HA sims at the highest
Emp S + SW is 500 below
FV + SW/HA is about 700 below.
