The bubble is able to add onto itself fairly quickly, so I wouldn't; especially if you are killing the bats and not kiting. I just use Crackling Jade Lightning and if needbe a quick Expel harm or Healthstone to quickly build up the bubble. The macro I use is:
#showtooltip Crackling Jade Lightning
/target Humming Crystal
/cast Crackling Jade Lightning
This will target the closest Humming Crystal and cast CJL. You only need one tick to proc the bubble. Pro tip, if the raid is already set to heroic before the trash before the boss, you can use the Crystals to mitigate the damage from the trash.
The three talents I use for this fight (four if you want) is Leg Sweep, Dampen harm, Rushing Jade Wind, and Chi Burst. Leg Sweep to stun the bats when the tank needs it. You can use Dampen harm and Touch of Karma to basically mitigate every stomp; thus never loosing the bubble. The only time you may loose it would be the rock falls. A good suggestion there is start on one side (left in my guilds strat) and work your way to the right, thus less likely to spawn near by the end of the rock fall. And of course Rushing Jade Wind and maybe Chi Burst for AOEing the bats. In our kill tonight I got 27th on the fight without the need for Chi Burst but AoE like a Mother****er (earlier attempts I was doing better but still averaging 200k+ on the attempts).
On an unrelated note, sad to see your guildy Monkxx stop raiding. I liked the guy.
Well. Imo haste makes roro abit wierd since you make it proc without stacks but the 4set makes haste better. I do not have 4set yet but I doubt that i will change from hastesoftcap> mastery 1point over haste > critt with 4set. Mastery dont do anything when you are just building stacks.
It's been said many times many ways, sims are bad and they love haste because they can play a perfect rotation. This is the last time I'm going to say it!
SERENITY NOW!!!!!!
Ehem. That being said, haste is our best stat up to the GCD cap(~22-25%) in my opinion. That's what my spreadsheet tells me, and that's what my WOL rankings tell me. 2Pc T15 knocks this cap down about 4%, and it wiggles a little based on how often you use Fists of Fury.
Who in particular is gemming mastery? I'll take a look and see if I can figure out why.
Problem is, by looking at people now, most people are in the OS so I could only find 2.
Axon: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../Axon/advanced
Zivh: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/characte.../Zivh/advanced (I assume he does this because of RoR?)
So is it even worth it to sim anything?
It's worth simming so that you can get a comparison of how you are doing in raids vs. a standard simulation benchmark. I'm just not very confident in how SimC calculates relative stat weights, since monks are so haste sensitive. Also keep in mind that SimC is benchmark encounter that doesn't exist anymore (patchwerk), and you are most likely using your GCDs for things other than DPS.
All I can say about people that stack mastery is that maybe they are more comfortable with a slower rotation, or like seeing huge numbers when you go TEB super saian. Haste has been shown to improve DPS more than mastery or crit up to a comfort level. I know that I am dialing back my haste a bit simply because it felt too button mashy.
Actually that looks about right.
Axon do not have RoR at obviously prefer Mastery over critt. Which could be right if he is good/great with handling tigereye.
Zivh is just gemming mastery to give him more secondary stats to play with. If you check his ratings he have ~haste softcap then mastery full out. And critt right behind his mastery.
It doesnt really matter if he gem mastery/critt there since all it does is giving him more secondary stats. Those gems could be haste/critt too if you just reforge like you should.
hello fellow monks.
i would like some help if there's some gentle soules around. i'm in a bit of a dilemma, i've aquired the 2 handed staff from horridon. and atm. i got raid finder HoF fist
fully upgraded + gems, and mogu shan heroic fist fully upgraded. would the two handed be an upgrade? - or is 2handed still far behind from dw?.
Also, here's my armory ''chaòz on zenedar eu. ( cannot post links since im new in here sowwy :3)'' if you got any tips or reforging/gemming i would be glad to hear them.
best regards maddix
Not to be "one of those guys", but this question has been asked and answered about a dozen times in this thread alone and has several standalone threads in the forum dealing with it.
http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...+2h+dual+wield
From that thread.
2 hander.
A good way to look at it is for every 4 itm lvls ur OH is lower than ur MH subtract 1 from your weapon ilvl.
so 483-463 = 20 divided by 4 = 5 brings ur dual wield ilvl to 478.
*edit* also in terms of the legendary gem not sure if you are able to aquire it yet but it typically counts for 2-3 ilvls making any upgrade surpass it now that you cant upgrade gear anymore.
Weapon dps is a ww's greatest upgrade
I know this is probably just common sense, but you only want to use 10 stack TEB when you have some sort of proc right? Unless of course you are at 19 stacks in which case an unbuffed TEB would be better than capping and wasting TEB stacks. Also should one sit on Energizing Brew to sync with TEB or just use EB whenever possible?
Im using EB whenever Im energystarving. Dont really see a reason to pop it when I could just pop chiwave/FoF instead. But if you are close to energystarving when you pop TEB then I would use EB too. Not sure if you have RoRO or not but before I got it I saved my TEB until I got Agile procc + dancing steel or when a burstphase/dmg increase phase starts.
Not sure if this is the Optimal way of doing it but it has given me the best results and the smoothes plays.
So since I look at logs, how do you see what last tier talent a guy uses on a fight for future reference.
It never pops up on damage done unless I'm doing it wrong.
On the damage done page that shows the raid, if you click the drop down arrow beside a player it will show if they used Xuen. Otherwise on their own analysis page you'll be able to see if they used torpedo or RJW.
Can someone help me out with dps?
- no armory?
- no description of what is wrong?
- not searched the forums? http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...-WW-Fix-my-DPS
I don't think that's wrong, necessarily. I try to use Chi Wave on cooldown as it is the second highest damage ability after RSK. After that, I try to force energy starvation through BoK spam and use energizing brew to top myself back off. I only use FoF when EB is on cooldown, so maybe once per minute, depending on the fight.
My thinking is that EB gets you faster stacks of TEB.
When i compare what i do to when i run simcraft im short about 15k dps.
i don't know what else i could be doing wrong. i have tried haste to softcap then crit with my current gear and stacking crit>haste and my numbers dont change at all.
