This is a complete lie. Do you even read the hotfix?
Code:
Dreadwake Armor 4-piece set bonus can now proc from its own bonus Death Coil.
This means there is a 16% chance for a deathcoil to shoot a deathcoil, which has a 16% chance to shoot a deathcoil, which has a 16% chance to shoot a deathcoil, which has a 16% chance to shoot a deathcoil, which has a 16% chance to shoot a deathcoil, which has a 16% chance to shoot a deathcoil............. etc
Also three more things.
1) On live wow this set was broken since launch.
It was never 20%. A spreadsheet was even compiled from 120 logs, which has proc rates from 16% even 3%.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...uLY/edit#gid=0
The average proc rate of all these logs was 11% chance for deathcoils to deathcoil. And even then they would not proc off themselves.
2) Hotfix makes it procs off itself! This means the 16% proc rate in reality is more like 19% more deathcoils, and means more ghoul energy and more Scourge of Worlds uptime.
3) The hotfix makes Runic Corruption proc off the proced deathcoils. This means more everything to spend on everything averagely. To quote Melekus from the Discord, which is also our simc dev: "not a huge difference but still a ~0.7% dps gain"
All of this adds up to a fair
buff of the set bonus, which was a fairly bugged and undertuned set bonus to begin with.
Again to quote from our Discord about 7 hours ago: "Simc will be updated next nightly / Raidbots tomorrow"
How can you sim something that isn't implemented yet?
Wait and see for the sims, but the logic I've presented here its a clear buff.
Is it enough for Unholy to out do Frost? Probably not, but they're so close its just the best players playing a spec at this point.
