Well I just got the 4 set last night and simming myself using raidbot with it says SS should be doing about 6k more dps than RA while AMR says ill be doing about 10k less. My haste is at 33% though testing out stat weights on raidbot says haste should be my number 1 stat (which it is).

I assume you're putting crucible info into both with an addon/manually adding it? 

What's your armory? I'll take a look at your character as well.

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/proudmoore/alleraz My vers is a little high but theres nothing I can really do abut that right now. Plus stat weights make it seem that vers and mastery are almost interchangeable(about a point difference), though that could just be the gear I have. But my haste is almost at 34%. Would love to get my t20 2 set back though.

And yea im using the addon with raidbots and putting in crucible info on AMR.

I just ran you through AMR and RaidBots both - both of them show RA as a loss of 6-8K.

Its true that raidbot does show 6-8k dps loss with RA, but AMR for me doesn't. AMR with RA is showing me at around 1.87mill while with SS its at 1.85mill(I just simmed). I dont know why its different for u with AMR, are u using the right crucible stats?

I do use the training dummie to test out on AMR since that gives a raw dps number.

So, I ran a training dummy test and got the same result as you, 20K loss while using SS. Then when swapping to Goroth (closest to Patchwerk real-raid fight), SS goes ahead. Really odd.

I'm not sure what to advise. Real-fight testing and see how you play with each?

Yea the thing is raidbots says on patchwork which is pretty much their training dummy setting since its no more than a dps fight with no movement and it says im doing 6-8k dps better with SS. 

I find it odd that the training dummie setting says it's worse for me and other frost dks on AMR but yet their raidbots say other wise. It just could be an issue with AMR. 

I play fine with either really, it really doesnt change the playstyle at all so ill probably stick with SS since i think Raidbots is just a better simming program. Having FS crit over 2 mill with just the main hand feels good.

I feel like it's also close enough that you are in a position to play with either and, given the range in iterations on such small test, you'll barely see any difference in the actual DPS. Like you said, play with what you want and you'll barely notice a difference. Resim yourself with new gear and just keep checking it as you get upgrades IMO.

Yea plus I do think raidbots is the better simmer then  AMR since it does use simcraft. I just have a feeling that AMR will say SS is gonna be worse for alot of Frost DKs on the training dummie setting for what ever reason.

I think it will always depend on the developer of the class, who is working on it etc.

I know that AMR has some solid staff behind their tool, but I don't generally use it for my own simming. I always stick to SimC/RB, so I always lean towards those results.

The Volatile Shielding Icon Volatile Shielding tier 5 talent can be used to increase the amount of damage absorbed by Anti-Magic Shell, allowing you to survive even more dangerous mechanics. Keep in mind that using this talent causes Anti-Magic Shell not to generate Runic Power. The damage that the talent deals is Arcane damage, which does not benefit from your Mastery.

 

I think this needs updated (tooltip now 100% additional RP, rather than none).

Will let Vlad know for an update - took me a second to find it there, couldn't see it on the talent pages! Thanks!

Hi. Is it possible to get the frost DK rotation section updated? It's VERY outdated. The last update was over 4 months ago. It doesn't even mention Obliteration anywhere. :/

From the guide:

Quote

If you are using the Breath of Sindragosa Icon Breath of Sindragosa or Obliteration Icon Obliteration, it is best to stack Pillar of Frost Icon Pillar of Frost with these talents.

The last major update to the game, 7.3.5, that actually changed classes was on January 17th. If you feel that something is specifically wrong, I can ask for an update, but there hasn't been any change to most classes in months. If a change happens, we will update the guide as necessary, but I'm not aware of anything that needs to be.

The detailed rotation guide is atrocious. It doesn't say how many enemies needed to use Frostscythe for example. It still assumes you are using Breath of Sindragosa. It doesn't tell you how to optimize burst in the starting window with Obliteration. Do you Frost Strike as filler? Or do you use Howling Blast? Some people tell me to almost never use Frost Strike because of Razorice stacks, and to only use it to burst them. It's very confusing stuff. I mean if you go and compare to Sub rogue how detailed the guide is, Frost DK is extremely lacking. The AOE section is almost completely useless, especially for Mythic+. I'm looking for very specific information, not just a generic guide like this. It doesn't even say which priority Remorseless Winter has without the Gathering Storm talent. And if I do have Frostscythe, and I happen to be on a single target encounter, do I use that instead of Obliterate?

I'm sure you can see how much is missing, and there is more, I just can't remember at the moment. :p

There is no sample rotation for optimal single target opener. No mention of the legendary chest where you use chains of ice and under which circumstances... do you use it with procs? do you use it on cooldown? no clue.

question, in the list of ranked FDK legendaries it shows kiljaedens burning wish about halfway down the list, but amanthuls vision is unlisted, however in the list above it for trinkets specifically, it says amanthuls vision is ahead of burning wish in value. is vision better than wish in all scenarios?

Completely forgot this, but you are right - there's a fair few things missing here. I've put up a note to get things added, but some things (being honest here) might not get added if it requires a large rework of the rotation section.

We're currently focusing on ensuring classes get their Battle for Azeroth pages up (Frost still needs theirs!), so hopefully we can get this done afterwards.

Aman'thul's, when ignoring the any other gear, is worse until you have around 7-8 other Pantheon trinkets in the raid.

The problem is, KJBW takes up a legendary slot, while Aman'thul's does not. There's about a 2% difference between a base-line Aman'thul and KJBW. A different legendary will definitely make up the difference of 2%, so you should use Aman'thul.

you have two different stat priorities on "Easy Mode" and "Stat priority" is that on purpose or a small mistake?

Why do you still recommend Omen when the game has shown your threat level without addons since Wrath of the Lich King?

Intended. Normal guide has much more reliance on simming yourself and taking Strength upgrades with simming to check. Easy Mode is assuming lower general item level and assuming players will not be willing to sim potential item level upgrades.

Because Omen still shows things that the in-game module doesn't, as well as being useful when you use a full UI replacement like ElvUI.

This guide will be updated for the release of the pre-patch of Battle for Azeroth in the next few days. We are aiming to have every guide deployed prior to the patch going live.

Please note that a new feedback thread will be created for the new guide, meaning that this one will be archived. Any feedback you have for the new guide should be placed in the new comment thread.

Thank you all for your patience and we are working to get the new guides up as soon as possible.

      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.
