    T19 Simcraft Results

    According to Simcraft for the next tier frost does the highest dps. I was thinking about going back to playing my mage but started out as fire because everyone was ranting and raving about the damage. If I'm not mistaken, fire has gotten or is about to get a nerf.

    What will be the highest dps spec for 7.1.5? I'd ask for beyond that but no one is a mind reader.

    Frost's aoe was terrible last time I tried it, way behind fire and arcane. Is that still the case?

    Yes, frost still lags. Frost isn't terrible at single target, but you have to get good procs and really it's not as nice as fire with how the play style of fire works. Everything has to happen perfectly, in a standing situation with frost, and a lot of the T19 damage relies on ice lance damage, so unless you're able to get a lot of procs, you're probably better off just playing fire still

    Why wouldn't you ask beyond 7.1.5? Because you would still have to be a mind reader in order to know the cookie cutter spec for 7.1.5 considering, allegedly, tuning is not done yet.

    Those t19 sims on the homepage of simc is from the current patch. All that data is invalid for next patch.

    They already announced the patch for 7.1.5 January 17th.

    They haven't. They announced Nighthold on Jan 17th. The patch is likely before that (otherwise classes are re-balanced in the midst of a new raid).

    They said the target release for Nighthold is then. 7.1.5 and Nighthold aren't the same things.

    He is looking for 7.1.5 answers while including t19 thread name so I would consider this irrelevant, because everyone is just gonna post things about different things.

    and yet extremely accurate. none of us knows how the class looks come 7.1.5 hence these sort of questions are pointless.

    I don't think there is an answer to that question right now.
    Just wait until 7.1.5 goes live and after first week hotfix, maybe we can answer that.
    Ask again by the end of january.

    Remeber that there is also a big difference between cleave fights/mass aoe fights/ST fights or turret mode/high mobility fights, or sustained dps fights or high burst of damages ....

    Encounters design is something you have to consider.

    If you ask that to know where you should spend your AP... i suggest you make all 3 weapons with all gold traits. Then upgrade each of them to 35 for the 5% dps buff. This way you cannot be f***ed.

    For my mage, I have achieved 35 traits on fire. I am on arcane weapon now. I'll take care of the frost weapon at last, if necessary.
