Restoration Shaman 7.3

1) In general, what are the implications of the new legendary rings, that add a 2nd talent? 

They don't change much, they are essentially just a flat DPS/HPS increase. The ring for Shaman is pretty mediocre though. There are better options for every spec. 

On 6/15/2017 at 11:36 PM, Doug said:

2) Specifically:  does the ring "Soul of the Farseer" compete, for BIS on any spec? 

No.

On 6/15/2017 at 11:36 PM, Doug said:

3) Also specifically: when using the ring, Echo of the Elements is an automatic talent pick on level 90... is Cloudburst Totem still the best SECOND talent on that level?  ...and

Yes, it is.

On 6/15/2017 at 11:36 PM, Doug said:

4)  With EotE as first talent on level 90, are any other talent changes recommended? 

Not based on EotE being taken, no. You will follow the same pattern of selection.

Also, my review of this guide was much larger than what is currently written, so hopefully once Furty can get on it we'll see a ton of tweaks and changes all around ;)

On your question specifically, the ring won't displace roots/velen as bis or compete with prydaz/gloves as second best.

Hi, great guide just a quick question, when is a good time to use berserking for a troll? with bloodlust or just when needed?

Hello - Hoping you can clear up my confusion regarding the Netherlight Crucible guide, related to "Tier 2 - Shocklight" - I do not see it anywhere under any relic options. Could this just be a typo? 

Regards,

Belanusia

I see it as the first listed trait(?) - maybe it is just a viewing bug for you?

I'm seeing it as well in the list, as well as the paragraph above.

This might be a simple mistake, but were you perhaps looking only at the low priority list for Tier 2 rather than the full list above?

It's very similar, other than Sephuz being ranked far higher (almost top, depending on your ability to use it) since you can proc things so much more reliably in M+.

Just through that webarchive page and navigating it through there - it should work for any class that was archived.

Hi

Regarding 4.1, Soul of the farseer really grants you Flash flood ? I am looking at it in-game (Vridiel) and it says Echo of the elements.

Is this a mistake ?

Thanks

Yes, it appears to be.  Soul of the Farseer is still giving Echo of the Elements (Now on the level 30 talent row) and not Flash Flood.  I'll pass this along to Seksi so he can correct it.  Thank you for catching that!

Edit:  I'm being told that this was hotfixed by Blizzard within the last hour or so and the information posted was correct before that.

Quite the unfortunate hotfix too, it had been giving Flash Flood since the talent was first introduced in beta and me (as well as most other shaman theorycrafters) expected the tooltip to be hotfixed instead, as Flash Flood is even more powerful than current Echo and allows much better raiding talents to also be taken.

Due to this change Soul of the Farseer is no longer one of our best raiding legendaries and was bumped down to the average tier. For dungeons its a decent choice, still. Thanks for the report anyway! :)

A tip for common mistakes -> miss-managing mana. I find a simple way to keep track of this is to keep my mana bar 5% higher than the bosses health bar. It's not fool-proof, but if you generally align your mana to it's health, you can be reasonably sure you won't run out too early, or worse, end the fight with a lot of un-cast spells due to being too frugal.

While this can work sometimes, you have to remember that certain fights require very different management styles. Take Aggramar, for example, where almost all healing required comes during the extremely damage-heavy add phase. Once you have got through the adds' explosions, there is very little to heal. Also, as fights become easier due to gear, progression being over, etc., you will find yourself ending fights with more mana than you normally would. 

This also doesn't take into account external cooldowns, such as Innervate, availability of mana potions, etc.

      Now's the perfect time to unlock your missing Plunderstorm rewards with doubled Renown gains until April 30th!
      (Source)
      Hoist the sails and batten the hatches; a Plundersurge begins this week with weekly maintenance!
      The Plunderstorm event is ending on April 30, but until then, pirating players can double the amount of Renown earned from all sources of Plunder by taking the Plundersurge. 
      Set Sail for the Plunderstorm
      Plunge into a challenging battle that earns excellent rewards for World of Warcraft® Modern and Classic progression realms. All you have to do is survive…and plunder. Can't seem to stay in the realm of the living? No problem. Plunderers still gain progression that helps unlock new rewards.
      Each match is 10-15 minutes long and has 60 players per match, with the winner being the last one standing. Level up and acquire new abilities and spells by killing creatures and enemies, looting chests, and avoiding the encroaching storm.
      A Pirate's Life for You
      The Arathi Highlands is the backdrop for this pirating adventure, and you'll have plenty of challenges to keep you busy.
      Prepare to Plunder
      Plunderstorm is perfect for pick-up and play! No expansion purchase is required, but a World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time is needed to participate in a high-stakes, play-by-the-seat-your-pants match. This means that Classic players can also participate in a plethora of plundering fun by simply installing the modern (Live) World of Warcraft client:
      Launch the Battle.net desktop app. Click the World of Warcraft icon at the top. If the icon is missing, click on All Games and select the game from the list. On top of the Install button is a drop-down menu. Confirm that you wish to install World of Warcraft. Click Install. Once you’re in modern WoW:
      Select Plunderstorm2 from the World of Warcraft game menu to get into the action. Create a new, ready-to-play character—player characters are unique to this event. You don't need previous knowledge of races and classes to chart your course for mayhem. Choose between Solo or—to play with your Battle.net friends—make a group from the Plunderstorm character screen and select Duo. If queued for a Duo without a partner, you'll be automatically matched with one. You can also access chat, customize characters, and see the queue from the Character Select Screen. Action Bar and Abilities, Worthy Mates
      Discover lootable spells, abilities, and upgrades as you plunder treasure chests and defeat enemies. Upon picking up, spells and abilities are automatically added to your Action Bar, with two slots dedicated to offensive skills and two for utilities such as leaps, speed boosts, and crowd-control.
      Some abilities are more action-based and require good positioning and player targeting. Have fun discovering and experimenting with different combinations to find what works for you.
      Upgrades to Your Spells and Abilities
      Your spells and abilities can be upgraded by discovering higher-quality versions from treasure chests or finding the same ability elsewhere and stacking it to Rank 3 (epic). There are also plenty of plundering opportunities—various treasure chests with different rarities that harbor all types of abilities are stashed around the map. Always stay on the lookout for better loot and upgrades.
      Spectating Spectre
      Upon death, keep watching the match from the perspective of your teammates (if they're still alive) or other players, including their loadout.
      Rewards A-Plenty for Plundering Pirates
      Players can earn cosmetics, pets, titles, and mounts as they progress through the reward track. These include the majestic Polly Roger parrot mount, Bubbles the crab pet, swashbuckling cosmetics, 750 Trader's Tender from "Keg Leg's Crew" for use on the Trading Post, and more. 3 A victory is not required to claim the spoils of a well-fought fight.
      To view Renown and apply the Plunderstorm weapon and transmog customizations, change titles, or summon pets, swabbies can click on Da'kash Grimledger standing directly in front of the spawn point in the Plunderstorm lobby.
      Customization unlocks are simultaneously unlocked for Dragonflight characters and can be found in your Collection. Each Renown level unlock is noted in colored text under the reward name, whether the reward is for Dragonflight, Plunderstorm, or Classic.
      Perch on the shoulders of this parrot instead of him perching on yours! Proper pirate fashion is a must for plundering! There isn't a better first mate on the high seas than Pirate Pepe! Plunderstorm Content Update Notes
      Learn more details about Plunderstorm in our update notes.
      We look forward to seeing you drop from the skies to engage in pirate-themed mayhem. We'll see you in Azeroth and wherever the adventure takes you!

      2Plunderstorm is accessed from the World of Warcraft® game menu but exists outside of player progression in World of Warcraft® and Wrath of the Lich King Classic™.

      Check out our first look at MoP Remix coming in Patch 10.2.7!
      When Patch 10.2.7 goes live, you will be greeted by the following screen, informing you about the MoP Remix event and its objectives. There will be a button that lets you create your Timerunner (character).


      Similar to Plunderstorm, there will be an icon on the character screen for MoP Remix with the number of days remaining.

      Timerunners will be marked with a special icon next to their name on the character selection screen.

      When you first enter the game, you'll start with a short intro quest on the Timeless Shore. Your character will be affected with the Pandaria: Remix buff.

      The quest intro features a few unique quests before you start replaying MoP from the very beginning. It introduces you to Bronze, the event's currency used to buy items and upgrade gear.  
      Throughout your journey you will come across some very unique gear just like this cloak (Cloak of Infinite Potential) that permanently increases in power (Timerunner's Advantage).

      Your char will have access to two important Timerunning abilities.
      Extract Gem - Extract a gem from one of your socketed items. Unraveling Sands - Summon Unraveling Sands that transforms your unwanted items into Bronze. Gems offer a lot of customization in MoP Remix and you want to extract them with Extract Gem, because placing a new gem on top of a socketed one will make you lose it.
      If you come across unneeded gear, you can scrap it for Bronze with Unraveling Sands.

      We're looking at the level of loot from the Great Vault and the items you can buy from Evantkis in Dragonflight Season 4.

      Things seem to be stabilizing a little, at least at the very top, as our DK-Rogue trio remains solid this week. There's plenty of movement below that though, so let's dive in.
      Note: We are using Normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. The u.gg rankings at the bottom are raw DPS. Normalized scores take into account the outlier boss fights where certain specs could stack massive DPS (due to the nature of the fight, whether it's AoE spam or something else), which would then affect their overall score for the whole raid.
      Mythic
      Overall Damage 95th Percentile
      It seems we have a stable chart at the top, as the DK-Rogue sandwich is exactly where we left them last week! We do see a big mover right after that, however, as Elemental jumps three spots up into 4th, pushing Retribution down one. Fury remains stable in 6th, followed by Frost Mage, which gains a spot at the expense of Outlaw, which is down three. The three A's are still sticking together, with Arms, Assassination and Arcane all moving one up, and the Rogue moving ahead of the Mage at the end of the top 10.

      95th percentile Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Overall Damage All Percentiles
      It's Survival's week this time around, as the Hunter bursts up nine spots into 7th, with the top 6 remaining the same. Elemental rises here as well in 9th, gaining three spots, as Havoc drops two at the end of the top 10. Marksmanship joins fellow Hunter Beast Mastery in the bottom 3, taking Feral's place.
      All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
      Unholy moves to the top of the pack in the direct damage charts, just barely taking Subtlety down. Survival makes an appearance here as well, moving six spots up into 6th, as Assassination and Shadow push Balance out of the top 10.
      All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Heroic
      Overall Damage All Percentiles

      All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.

      U.GG Raw Mythic DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks. This chart is for Mythic only.
      Arms is on the way up, gaining three spots in 6th and pushing Havoc down one, as the Fyr'alaths start compounding here as well. Fire moves three up in 9th, as Frost DK drops those same three spots just outside the top 10.
      Mythic chart by u.gg.

      As many expected, it seems everyone's favorite farm won't be making it to Remix: Mists of Pandaria, as spotted by TheYamagato.
      This makes perfect sense, since it's a limited time event and the farm is a long reputation grind based on daily activities, and just wouldn't really fit with the shorter runtime. The farm itself is still there, but the NPCs that start the quests are not, replaced by the new Timerunning ones.       And so we're going to have to skip the farm when 10.2.7 comes along, but hey, it's still there on regular old retail if you really feel the need!
