Soul Capacitor is Bad

[jtstormrage]

It can be good but it is very RNG. For progress it is almost too inconsistent to use.

I have had fights where it procs 14 times, and others where it procced 2-3 times.

If it doesn't proc, or you have to use the cancelaura macro, then is wasted and literally just agility, which is worse than the Reaver stat stick trinket.

There are some situations where it can be very powerful, e.g. if it happens to proc a few seconds before imps spawn on Xullhorac or Mannoroth, but again it is very RNG.

For progress, you actually dont want it to proc right before imps on either fight, because they need them to go down ASAP. If it procs right before imps you are essentially doing no damage to priority targets, and just funneling damage to the less important boss.

It's debatable if you have two locks, and two warriors if your damage is even needed for imps, but for progression mirror>soul cap. On manny, we have three hunters and me all save our mirror for the first imp spawn in p2 that happens during wrath, because if both the warrior and me get wrath we struggle with that imp wave. I guess a case can be made for soul cap if your guild is struggling to push before the next doom lord, but mirror will still give consistent damage when you want it.

It's almost always better than any other trinket. Class trinket/SC on every fight is BiS.

Fully agree mate. I meant if it procs such that it explodes (by expiring or usefully when using a cancelaura) when the imps are up, which requires quite a lot of luck.

srsly? I always thought it basically did (130/2) 65% dmg if you didnt cancel it immediatly.. dayum!

It will hit both for 65% instead of hitting the add for 65% and the boss for 6.5%

You're 100% sure of that?

Just to further emphasise Rylix statement of Fact
Here is a log (of Rylix ) killing Tyrant, and getting a Soul cap detonation while last add is alive:

Damage is evenly split among the boss and add. The rumor that soul cap does not work on Tyrant can hereby be invalidated.

Eh, the "armor" whatever buff isn't up 100% of the time. So that's a bit quick on the guns

Anyways, I did take the liberty to check the eventlog and indeed:

00:04:19.676 Tyrant Velhari gains Sovereign's Ward from Ancient Sovereign
00:04:21.073 Rylix Spirit Eruption Tyrant Velhari 1079216
00:04:21.073 Rylix Spirit Eruption Ancient Sovereign 1079216


That's good to know.

Err... My bad! Did not think about the xx second delay untill she gains the armor from the add. I forgot to check that but good that someone is paying attention to details

The armor also falls off after some time and the add will need to recast it. Not that it would matter to rogues. Well maybe if you were combat.

The Trinket itself requires a LOT of management. Your positioning needs to be extremely good to make it work to its full potential, for example, because of the trinket, quite a lot of the adds on Gorefiend Mythic would simply just die. Leaving my raid team open to focusing on other things, on Kilrogg mythic you can instakill a goop from the heartseekers, as well as killing almost all of the adds inside and giving insane padding. A cancelaura macro is required with this trinket otherwise you'll just flop.
