I went to the raidbots website as you suggested previously and used it to generate stat weights for my character. The results I got prioritizes haste and crit over mastery.  Here is the string https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/jG1ZmzhWLzVNTxY7KX4bQz 

As this is most definitely not what is suggested in your guide I was hoping to get some insight. 

It has generated stat weights that are particularly tailored to your character. Our guide lists general weights. If you have a particularly high or low amount of certain stats, it might force you to take a "non-desirable" stat, since a small increase in it will grant more DPS than continuing to stack a priority stat. This doesn't mean you need to be stacking it from now on and, in the future, you will likely see those non-desirable stats fall out of favour.

Stats are super mobile in Legion and completely change the weights of each other.

Reverse emapthy or whatever is wrong, it's 10 % damage not 5%

I'm unsure of where you are seeing this in the guide - I can't find it.

so i was reading through the legendary and BIS equip section for destruction lock and came across this

 Unstable Arcanocrystal remains an extremely strong choice, but only if you can obtain a very high item level titanforged version. Since most players will not be lucky enough to achieve this, it will be a rarity amongst Affliction warlocks this tier, though it does bear mentioning. Arcanocrystal is better than any other trinket it the game at equal item level due to the sheer amount of stats it provides.

it specifically sas afflicion locks even though its in the destro section. im sure the details of it are the same for all three specs hence it was copied and pasted but it could confuse some that we are in a destro section suddenly talkin about affliction locks.

Keep reporting stuff to me! :p

Good luck in the Shadows of Argus!

Looks like you are missing  Tier 3 talent called Eternal Struggle.  Passive:  After casting Life Tap, you take 12% less damage for 6 sec.

This is because it has no impact on DPS whatsoever, so it has no value when comparing upgrades.

Good job, but it seems Tier 3 Talent: Flames of Sargeras is missing too.

The Artifact page has a line that says "any other damage relic" but since I included Fire From the Sky it only makes sense we add Flames as well on the Crucible page. Thanks for the catch.

Hey, i have an important question: Why do you say that  Lessons of Space-Time is better than Soul of the Netherlord?? Because with the ring you are allowed to bring  Empowered Life Tap with you and it is 10% extra damage always, during all the fight. However, if you are using   Lessons of Space-Time it is only for your charges, and it is less than 50% of active time. I know shoulders have better stats and with  Empowered Life Tap you have to renovate constantly the buff, but still is worth it. 10% damage during all the time. For this reason, don't should be  Lessons of Space-Time and Soul of the Netherlord bis single?

It varies depending on build/gear. Lessons is always BiS on ST, Soul goes from being one of the best to middle of the pack. You can essentially view it as Lessons + Feretory or Lessons + Soul depending on your personal sims, but Lessons will always be there.

The Boss by Boss Strategies in the guide have not been updated for ToS. They are still showing for Nighthold. Will they get updated for ToS & ABT when it comes out?

I think this macros for Healthstone is must-have.

LMB - Use Healthstone, RMB - Create Healthstone

#showtooltip Healthstone
#show Healthstone
/use [button:1] Healthstone
/cast [button:2] Create Healthstone

Do you have any update on this? With 7.3.2 released, I am guessing that ABT might be out Nov/Dec.

Thanks again!

I've pinged the note again, I'll try let you know ASAP!

Well, shouldnt any thought about Whisper in the Dark since it got nerfed, I think that Tarnished Sentinel Medallion should now be better in any case. Just my opinion.

Since the nerf, it now depends on gear setup rather than being straight up BiS. We do list Tarnished as better in our guide anyway though, and have since we first put the guide up.

Quote

 Tarnished Sentinel Medallion is currently the best available trinket for Destruction currently. The Mastery passive pairs perfectly with our The Mastery passive pairs perfectly with our Tier 20 4-piece bonus, and the active does a very potent amount of damage in and of itself.

It seems your opinion is right!

Im sorry, but i need to know stats priority with t21. Im thinking its Crit - Haste - Mastery - Versality.

And i think Acrid Catalyst Injector is very OP with this destro set. And Im using Norgannon's Prowess instead of Tarnished Sentinel Medallion .

What do you think about it?
