    Heroic kill times heavily exaggerate the effects of lust and are skewed towards bust classes. Goroth is also an exceptionally bad boss to consider in heroic given most groups will kill it around 2:20-2:50 which substantially inflates Havoc DPS. In the aggregate, Havoc is still the second worst in heroic, and this is also true in normal for similar reasons.

    In actual content where bosses take a while to kill, it's by far the worst.

    So I have to worry about 2 months of being the worst DPS, then I get to "upgrade" to being even worse relative to everyone else? I guess I don't have to worry about being the worst for 2 months, you're right, nor being the worst in T21 either. Glad you pointed that out. Oh and guilds preparing for T21 now all aware of DH being the meme shit tier class? Nope, don't have to worry about T21 at all until the day it comes out.

    Thing is;

    If you're in a casual guild, then your guild won't care which spec you play.

    If you're in a top end guild then you already have several other characters to fall back on when T21 comes out.


    So why do you care? You either already have your other alts you are keeping geared in case this happens or you're in a guild that won't really care what you play as long as you enjoy playing it.

    If you're in a casual guild that sits you for playing a Havoc and are still like 3/7M, then GTFO that trash guild.

    At least with t21 we will destroy m+ and not even give a shit about mechanics or affixes

    But single target is much more important than AOE/cleave. And being very mobile and having an immunity to soak stuff is also very important.

    By your logic rogues are a midpack spec.... which is ridivilous considering they are the best melee in TOS. Every average rogue currently can join a top raid....

    I think you should take a step back and re think what you are saying.

    We are not "by far" the worst ... We were below middle before today and got now buffed a bit. Lets just wait and see how the buffs & crucible affects us..

    I always laughed on such posts, like boomkin makes 2x more DPS than you, but why do you care? You play in casual guild!!!!1111oneone

    Man, even most casual of casualest guilds want top DPS in their raid. Ofc you can be super skilled and outDPS everyone in your raid, but why you must push buttons like mad when that boomkin facerolling on keyboard watching porn in the same time and having same DPS as yours? Is it fair? Now imagine two casual guys with equal skill - boomking and DH - there will be same 2x times difference. Why Raid Leader would pick that DH? Is it fair?

    Leave those "I PUSH STARFAL AND GIT 100500 DPZ!" guys, it is pointless to talk to them. It is easy to argue when your class is easily outdpsing everyone.

    If demonic is so far behind after the first few weeks, you can expect a buff in a hot fix. But thats with a few weeks of us being last.

    As it is, I dont care. Once i get the set, Im going to full on go demonic, and not look back. I much prefer that spec than the chaos blades spec.

    It doesn't matter we got buffed when everyone else got buffed aswell. Some even top performing specs like Sub - they got 1,5% buff too. The buff didn't happen because they think the classes themselves needed buffs (the 9% WW buff shows they have absolutely no clue what they are doing, as WW monk played right can absolutely obliterate everything in sight, ending the boss fights from 1st to 3rd place on dps, no matter the scenario), but because our crucible scaling apparently wasn't as high as for example mages.

    you DO realize DH isnt even that strong ST anymore thanks to mastery and dinnerbell nerfs, right? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/statist...metric=bossdps speaks for itself, middle of the pack overall and 9th out of 12 classses on boss damage, for spec with such atrocious aoe and cleave, DH should be top 3 ST spec easily, and thats already skewed by the fact, that noone actually asks for DHs to swap and aoe, so they get better uptime on boss than pretty much everyone else. the fight needs to cater literally into the havocs CDs, like maiden, which is the only good fight this entire tier, because even on predominantly ST fights like goroth, sisters and avatar, DH is trash

    1. I've no clue about WW Monks, never raided with one. Your monk seems to have pretty good logs, several 100 but his (for example) Heroic goroth log is a 100% and mine is 95 with pretty similar dps.
    But according to the mythic logs. WW Monks are as bad as we are: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/statistics/13/#

    2. The 3% are not only because of crucible:
    Developers’ notes: All of the damage increases below are a combination of buffing specs that don't benefit from the Netherlight Crucible's item level increase as much as other specs, as well as tuning the specs relative to each other.

    Im sorry but having more specs =/= one of them perfoming well.

    If memory serves me well , all 3 hunter specs were pretty trash on some tiers, so were both unholy and frost DKs.

    So the problem with the class is how raids were designed so far. Just Look at En and NH, Havoc did pretty decent, but now on tos, yeah, kinda sad, but nowhere near of "amg sky is falling, the top guild were taking my class/spec, so must be utterly trash"

    t21 doesn't force demonic, it forces Eye Beam on ST just like it was in EN. I know i'll be playing demonic because i can't stand the brain dead chaos strike spam and its too late to reroll.

    I wouldnt push the 1 button narrative if i were to be you.

    Besides, i agree with the poor perfs of DHs here so much i feel stupid to have invested so much time on my havoc just to keep it on par my main; yet ppl here needs to learn how to cherry pick wcl better.

    At least dont link "all bosses" because it EN Fire Mage all over again :X

    T21 will probably change the way we play. But we won't be bottom dps spec. Not unless you suck anyway.

    No, we don't have to wait, they're not going to make any major changes at this point. That's what this "adjustment" means. If they thought they needed to make bigger tuning changes or anything significant, they would be. Havoc will be by far the worst spec in Antorus. It's a dead spec for the remainder of this expansion.
    You clearly have no clue of how balancing goes. They've re-balanced everything one week before the Mythic unlock in the new raids (7.1.5 and 7.2.5 say hello!) only to make slight tunings just ahead of the Mythic release based on the first weeks parses. Quit being such a drama queen and at least do your research before you speak!

    Congratulations on disagreeing with the entire history of patch notes. I'm sure you're right and Blizzard's historical behavior isn't.

    It does, same as T20 forced First Blood.

    The gains on ST damage from Eye Beam without Demonic and using T21 are like nothing compared to using Demonic.

    Hello
    I was trying demonic in ToS to see how it goes in raiding.
    Turned out that spawning lesser soul fragments from a talent goes in contradiction towards boss mechanics.

    Example:
    Fallen Avatar: Lesser soul fragments spawning near the wall while I stand in the middle. It was difficult to search for them with all the spell effects going on both from boss and players, also picking up lesser soul fragments could be difficult because of the boss mechanics require certain positioning.

    Maiden of Vigilance: Lesser soul fragments spawned on the other side of my "infused" color. In this case I can't pick them up at all.

    And this just an example, you can find this being problematic on nearly every boss in ToS and especially on Myth difficulty where are more mechanics and where is positioning more important. This leads to a significant DPS loss or risking unintended dmg towards you or other raid members.

    I am not sure how this gonna work in Antorus, but it is very possible RIP DH for at least myth raiding.

    //edit: I wouldn't worry about the dps, demonic has more sustain DPS while CB has more burst, in long encounter they can turn out to have nearly same DPS depending on how many burst can CB get out before the boss is dead.

    I mean... way to look a fool. Here you go, patch notes to prove my point:

    https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/ne...ft-patch-7-1-5
    https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/news/20812012

    This is the history of pre-raid patches in Legion, and both have a massive amount of class changes. The only one disagreeing with history is you.
    A wise man once said that it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
