Where is the Best In Slot list for raid gear?

It is yet to be added, sorry!

Best in slot lists aren't that useful for this expansion anyway due to Mythic+, Warforging and Titanforging. Following the stat priority is normally more useful than aiming for items on a BiS list, especially since it will only include EN gear, not dungeon gear.

Is there any way we could get stat weights?  I use Pawn, and the stat weights for Arcane mage were very useful and it'd be nice if they were here too, since I feel they're more reliable than SimCraft's weights.

The weights that you obtain for your character through simcraft are always going to be more accurate than our general ones, since they are tailored to your character. It will be the best way to get them, for sure.

For me it appears that serenity does much better than whirling dragon punch in single target fights like Nythendra or Ursoc.

For Serenity to outperform WDP, you need to really calculate exactly what is the perfect usage of different abilities in that 8 second window. Can you show me a log of you using each talent? Serenity might feel better due to that burst available.

Hi!

Quick question, if I've taken chi burst instead of chi wave, do I use it in my rotation in single target situations?

And if so,  what would be the priority of CB? The same as CW?

I think you would only use it if you needed a filler for the Hit Combo stacks, rather than simply TPing again.

I've been using Pawn and Simcraft addon, and I've reached an impass.

 

I've gotten to the point where getting SUB 18% haste tells me Haste is the more valuable stat (I use EofT, Ascension and WDP).

When I get to 18% haste, Haste is passed by mastery and versatility in priority.

The consequence of this (Ascension+haste) is when I look at my inventory, I see a ring of mine with 1061 Mastery + 707 Vers with a 5% upgrade boost (through Pawn stat weight). When I equip it and run /simc and simulationcraft again, the same ring I just unequiped (1206 mastery + 629 haste) is indicated as having a 5% upgrade. If I equip it again and rerun the simulations, this turns into a loop.

---

If I use Energizing Elixir instead, it turns out haste has a very low weight (4.32) for my gear. After equiping the best I have for it on my inventory, I stay at 13% haste. Again, the same ring (mastery+vers) is shown as having 5% upgrade. The same happens again, haste jumps from 4.32 weight into 6.

 

What the hell is happening, can someone help me? xD

Also, which trinkets are even BiS? Should I look only at trinkets with Agility (or mastery)?

What I typically do with rings is simulate every combo of all the rings that I have, since they always seem so finicky.  This will tell you which two rings are best.  Rings are the only thing I don't fully trust Pawn with, and thus simulate them quite frequently.

Nobody going to point out the fact that using anything other than Serenity in the last tier is a dps loss due to how bugges SEF is?

He's referring to to the number of bugs that Storm Earth and Fire has, which can be found and elaborated on here.  To summarize them:

  • SEF clones don't benefit from haste (may be fixed?).
  • Clones do not inherit the players' Hit Combo stacks and must build their own.
  • Clones attack banished/cc'd targets or ones you are always in combat with (ie. sentries in Court of Stars).
  • Reduced damage/effects of spells/abilities that don't get copied (ie. damage trinket procs, potion of the old war, fishbrul special).
  • Sometimes miss the first spell cast after casting SEF b/c they don't have a target immediately.
  • SEF clones don't benefit from Tornado Kicks (second RSK for 25% damage after normal RSK).
  • Clones don't benefit from Transfer the Power (3% stacking FoF damage increase on RSK and BoK).

It looks like Babylonius has kept WDP as the chosen talent despite the bugs on here and on WtW, so it might still be better? 

I'll put a note in and see what he says. Thanks for linking them anyway!

Not choosing Serenity is a DPS loss....

That's true if you play at a high level, but if you aren't as good/just can't quite get WW down in the first place, you're better off with Whirling Dragon Punch, which is easier to play and better for open world content (where you generally don't use your DPS CDs too often).  The thing with serenity is you have to know both when to use it and what to use within it.

So the Icy Veins guide says to take the highest +ilvl to weapon Relic but the Walking the Wind site says otherwise. Which is most accurate?

The relic guide on Walking the Wind is more accurate.

You can use other abilities to fill as well. Tier 1 talents can fill when off CD, as well as Crackling Jade Lightning if you need a fast double generator on an add that's going to die soon.

You should not be using CJL as a filler ability, since it costs 20 + 20/s Energy to use (changed in 7.1).  It should only be used for a ranged tag when doing World Quests, if at all.  In 7.1.5, if and only if you have the legendary chest, then using CJL at 20 stacks of the buff is a good thing to do (the buff reduces the cost and increases damage, at 20 stacks CJL is free).

Surely it's better to CJL if, for example, you need burst damage on an add and don't want to wait for another ability to reset the counter? Or is it just not worth it with the new energy cost?

Nope, with a base cost of 20 energy + 20 per second (double passive regeneration), you loose too much energy, and thus too much chi to warrant its use.  Don't forget, there is also Chi Wave and Flying Serpent Kick that you can also use to keep Hit Combo upin between Blackout Kicks, but in the event both are on cooldown, it is better to wait for either energy for Tiger Palm or something to come off cooldown (RKS, FoF, CW, FSK).  You have to be careful with using FSK to fill downtime, as it's a movement ability primarily and should be save to get to point A more quickly over using it for rotational smoothing.

Yeah, losing a minimum of 40 energy, plus the 100 from two tiger palms wipes you completely, which would mean EE would have been a better use, or you'll energy drained right off and stuck waiting for either EE to come off CD, or you'll have to sit around with no energy for most of the fight.

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the hypothetical timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN. The internal builds are becoming more and more frequent which indicates Blizzard's ramping up to start testing in the very near future.
      Placeholder for tweet 1772901807448052151 In the meantime, we encourage you to check out everything coming in the War Within pre-patch that will release 1 month before the actual expansion.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.
      (Source)
      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
