Specifically I'm wondering which would be better between 880 whispers in the dark - 870 erratic metronome- 875 pharamere's forbidden grimoire  (with socket)- 865 swarming plaguehive (with socket)- and 940 kil'jaeden's burning wish.

Whispers/KJ.

Does the Soul Harvest talent work like other cooldowns for Warlocks, in that when you cast, say all your trinket procs, potions and then use Soul Harvest before casting something like Grimoire: Imp? Just trying to figure out if I should wait a bit and cast Soul Harvest and then my other cooldowns for a larger burst window.

You'll want to set up your imp etc. prior to popping SH for maximum effect.

We are currently in the process of updating our guides in preparation for the release of 7.2 - please understand that we will not be answering questions in this section about "What is better for 7.2?" prior to the patch release, since all the information will be available when the patch goes live. Please be patient and thanks for waiting!

Hey there,

Concerning the boss by boss strategies: dont you recommend using the legendary odr for wreak havoc?

Hoping your answer is "No", since I have the other Two recommended ledgys. XD

Under "Rotation, Cooldowns, and Abilities" "2.4. Soul Shard Generation and Consumption" it lists shadowburn as consuming a soul shard but it generates a soul shard.

The guide has a line that Eradication may be the best choice when using Feretory of Souls with T19 2-piece and a high Haste build. I have all of the above, and it does work, but there's also something to be said for Reverse Entropy with Soul Conduit too. The Shard generation is really impressive. You can get into these crazy burn phases where you are literally spamming Chaos Bolt, sometimes 10 in a row. I had one pull on High Botanist Tel'arn where Chaos Bolt did 60% of my damage.

If you can take advantage of it, then yes, definitely. It's incredibly strong where Wreak Havoc works well.

Will pass this on to Furty, see what he says - I don't play Warlock, so I can't really comment :p

It's probably not the top DPS choice, but it certainly is fun. The main thing you'd have to worry about with Eradication is needing to tap, and it's really not that bad. In 5 mans you hardly ever need to tap because you recover mana during the downtime. In a continuous raid encounter you spend maybe 4-5% of your GCD's tapping which still makes it a DPS gain given the 12% damage boost. But with the further reduced cast time with RE and never having to tap, that's stupid fun.

The key is really Soul Conduit. It makes a huge difference especially if you are able to multi-dot Immolate.

none of the guides have the actual weights anymore. The reason is that legion really borked with secondary stats both at launch and with patches. The issue is that depending on gear, legendary items, trinkets, etc, your stat values will bounce around rapidly. Like literally one piece change will make sims value a different stat one hundred fold. So while there are typically break points to shoot for (which for destruction I don't know) the atypically weight value system thing is pretty much dead. People are highly encouraged to self sim.

Just to add to Demon's comment:

If you are unsure of how to sim, you can always check out our Hunter Guide writer's video on it:

Hope this helps :)

I was wondering what your opinions of askmrrobot.com are concerning the best in bag features and their sim tool. I tend to get results that contradict the information in your guide. Particularly with legendary suggestions and stat priority.

When should I refresh Immolate? Just right before it expires or can I refresh it earlier? I didn't know if after a certain amount of time, the remaining damage from the buff carries over to the new one.

As far as I am aware, none of our guide writers use the AMR tool - they use SimCraft instead, as do most theorycrafters that provide information for the game. I don't use it myself and so I can't really explain the outputs it gives, I'm sorry. Have you tested it using SimC?

The trinket section seems very out of date? 

It is, yes - I would expect an update that will include ToS as soon as .2.5 comes out. I'm sorry that there hasn't been an update to it recently, but the BiS is up-to-date on what to aim for!

If you are using Roaring Blaze, focus on making sure that your Immolate buffed by Conflag stays on for as long as possible and that you don't overwrite it without another Conflag to buff it. Otherwise, you just maintain as required for the buff to stay on the target.

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG 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.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.
    • By Staff
      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look.
