    Heroic TF legs from jinrokh would be bis, considering the tier piece has crit on it which is horrible and legs and chest have the highest secondary stats, so it's pretty clear to use offset pants for the haste/mastery combo

    Really all that it says is that the tier gear is not really that great for us and that you can easily replace them for equal (or better) pieces of gear in terms of itemization.

    legs-raden
    feet-raden
    bracers-priomordius
    gloves-durumu

    is that correct?

    and for those of us who may not kill lei shen/ra den heroic for the legs and feet slot would the heroic teir legs or heroic TF leggs of jinrock be better?

    Can change the Durumu shoulders for the random drop ones.

    Seriously depends on the fight (imo). UVLS makes for really really strong openings which puts you way ahead of most every other person that every subsequent proc just makes you go further.

    Whats the best way to do H-Tortos as aff? I dot up all the turtles and sb:seed the bats for corruption but Im not really happy with my damage out put. We only gotten about 10 pulls in tonight, we'll have more time on Thursday. Overall what should I be doing different or improve to get my damage up for that fight?

    i go supremacy and have my observer on boss the whole time

    keep dots rolling on tortos while dpsing the three turtles, i sb:ss all three, haunt the marked turtled and mg till i can drain soul, just keep an eye on your other dots - i personally only sb:soc the bats if i am solo on slow duty, other than that i get enough shard regeneration with drain souling turtles sub 20 before it goes immune

    I have to keep both normal and SB Exhaustion on CD and can hardly keep Corruption up on bats for more Nightfall procs. The times of letting Affli tunnel boss on all fights are completely gone.

    Yea, I figured that would be the best way to maximize my pet dps would be to sit the pet on Tortos. Do you think in 25man you need more than 1 lock slowing the turtles? Also probably didnt help that I have played Affliction since then end of last patch. Hopefully we get more and longer pulls in tomorrow.

    we downed it tonight after some solid attempts last night everything fell into place. during most of our attempts i had just been slowing the turtles and trying to focus them, but in the last few attempts i changed my role to assisting our BM bat kiter and it went much smoother. Basically keep sb:soc on bats, 70% slow on bats, 70% slow on turtles and using extra shards to dot turtles and tortos. also helping to throw out a stun on the bats whenever the tank called for it. i think the only time i got to mg/ds was in the opener and not again until the final ~20%

    Quick question, if you can help me please:

    My IL is 515, I have 2 pieces of t15 and I have new meta gem (not relevant for question, but anyway). I'm a bit unlucky with trinkets, I have DMF one (2/2 upgraded) and Shado Pan one (from Valor Points).

    My intellect procs are:
    -blessing of celestials
    -enchant from back-enchant
    -jade spirit

    Question: In situation when I have 1-2-3 shards, should I use shards on just Jade spirit proc? Or only on back enchant proc / only blessing of celestials proc? Or should I try to wait (not sit on 4 shards ofc) for 2 intellect procs to occur?

    I hope you understand my question

    Thanks for the help
    o/

    Keep 1-2 shards for moments when stars align but otherwise just keep up a proper rotation. Get affdots for sure and possibly drain souler. They will tell you when you should be renewing if you want to min/max dot strength and let you renew between channeled spell ticks.

    Thanks for response!

    I use affdots, i have no problem with reaplying them. It's just this shard managment... argh!

    I just switched from destro back to aff now that I have legendary meta and 2 rppm trinkets. Is everyone using supremecy with a haste build 520+ ilvl? I see a lot of aff locks speced to sac (maybe fight specific) and a lot in supremecy, so maybe its a minimal difference with this build and gear? Is there some sort of ilv/gear where u go to sac? Figured supremacy would the the no brainier since im spending a lot more time refreshing dots with all these procs and less time malefic grasp then previous expansions.

  17. #2017
    Supremacy is better for any fight where you multidot most of the time. Sac only benefits single target via MG/DS. 4xT15 makes sac stronger relative to supremacy single target but nothing changes sac only benefitting single target damage. Thus sac on say jinrok is fine or even optimal. Sac on h.tortos or h.primordius is NOT optimal since you are dotting multiple targets with most of your time not channeling MG/DS.

    Its more a question of observer vs fel imp based on how often you need your pet target swapping. H.tortos I park the observer on the boss, h.primordius I use the imp to assist w' a pet attack macro baked into my MG bind. H.Ji-kun I run sac (actually demo sac) but that is due to pet mechanics vs encounter mechanics.

    How about on Horridon hc? On our last attempts I changed to Sac cause we're having some trouble killing the adds in time and I felt like the pet was practically just running around, barely attacking anything.

    An unrelated question: how strong are lfr versions of our "desired" trinkets compared to normal mode versions? I managed to get my hands on BotH normal (and it's really a p sweet trinket), and now I'd like to grab Wushoolay, but have no luck getting it so far. Should I even bother running 1st wing in lfr to get the 502 version, considering I'd be replacing the vp trinket with it? The ilvl drop is pretty huge, but does the synergy between trinkets and/or the fact Wush is RPPM and the VP one has an icd overcome the ilvl difference? I play a haste-skewed build (ilvl 517, haste around 10k, would probably push stats further towards haste after getting meta+Wush).

    I do horridon as demo service. Was at 270K'ish last kill which wasn't anything spectacular (world 20'someting at the time 30'something now). http://www.worldoflogs.com/reports/r...?s=2910&e=3602

    Basically keep UVLS doom on boss, doom anything that will live long enough for 2+ ticks, felstorm when adds group up, mannoroth immo aura, multi dot corr not so much for damage but to feed fury. My gear setup isn't so hot for destro (orange meta, UVLS, shadopan trinket) so its demo/aff for me. Demo is probably more work than other specs but I'm very comfortable with it. In demo I have pet attack baked into fel flame. Being able to go to meta form for direcalls (physical dmg vs meta form's armor) is a nice mini defensive. I put the direhorn on focus and just cast corruptions on him for the knockback (and a touch of free DF). I prefer corr since it has no facing requirement. (hint this also works on h.tortos crystal)
