Tbh never really looked at it since it was just a crap trinket compared to the ones from HFC but i doubt they changed the ICD on SoW.

Thx for the quick reply.  So I have the SoW, Grontooth, Empty drinking horn.

However, I also have this Spore of Alacrity that dropped warforged (upgraded to 715) in a mythic 5 man and its +184 strength, and attacks have a chance to grant 3,048 haste for 10 secs (.92 procs per min).  So before I go and grab a Stone of the Elements, I figured I'd ask if its an upgrade.

Stone of the Elements is just too strong.

Soul Reaper isn't that good of an option because it's good for long fights and i assume your guild is killing the bosses somewhat fast also soul reaper works great with the Artifact Weapon ability *Apocalypse* and we don't have it yet. You can try with Soul Reaper but with Dark Arbiter you should be doing more on short fights as long as you pool runic power before the bosses. Unfortunately 4p t18 and the Legendary ring are huge for us so try getting at least the 4p.

30.07.2016 Update:

Alright so apparently they stealth nerfed Clawing Shadows without mentioning it anywhere, with that nerf Castigator is  most likely the talent to go with now also there's rumours about All Will Serve being buffed but  needs to be tested.

From what i've heard it was reduced from 200% AP to 150% AP, still waiting on official notes and see what else could have been changed.

Does soul reaper's haste buff affect gargoyle? Because I have been waiting until I get the soul reaper buff to cast gargoyle, but obviously if it doesn't affect gargoyle I should be casting right on the pull. I couldn't really find a definite answer to this anywhere.

It gives me from 25% to 51% haste in the attributes tab so it should affect the gargoyle to.

Yes it does also you don't really need to delay Gargoyle since it scales dynamically so as long as you get the  haste buff  which lasts 15 seconds inside Gargoyle's duration you are good to go.

So is CS still viable even with the nerf? People say that we should use Castigator instead

Well right now Scourge Strike is doing more damage than Clawing Shadows so yes Castigator should be picked. There's some bug apparently that makes only the Physical part of Scourge Strike to cleaves on top of death and decay which makes CS better for AoE till it's fixed.

Gonna update the guide once i get official notes on what exactly changed.

CS nerf is 25% in pve yet stays the same for pvp. Going to be patched today. No mention of any other changes though.

With the recent changes to CS with Castigater being the better choice, does that change stat priority at all since Cast procs off crit? And also what do you think about the new mobility changes?

Well more or less instead of being different between single and and AoE now you can go Haste > Critical > Mastery for Aoe = Versatility for single target. I don't like the mobility changes, 15 % movement speed was better for us than 15 sec reduce to WW but can't do much about it.

Hi Tegu,

One thing that might be useful for people looking to optimize their gear is to add stat weightings along with the stat priority.

Also the loss of clawing shadows for castigator means we lose the 30yrd range that clawing shadows had. Will that affect the aoe rotation as it may take more time to get close enough to use scourge strike which could result in a loss of dps.

Thanks

I'm gonna try to add stat weights for Legion, right now there's none with the recent changes. Regarding Clawing Shadows i already sent the information for the guide to be updated now i am just waiting on the Icy Veins staff to put it but thanks for your feedback anyway!

Awsome guide 

What is the radius of Epidemic Detonation  (the damage radius not the activation) and Outbreak surrounding targets?

And Is is worth mentioning to use Epidemic AFTER D&D ends? 

It's really confusing ability but do retard amount of AoE.

Epidemic is 100 yards and the secondary part  ( near enemies ) is 8 yards.

Usually Death and Decay combined with Scourge Strike / Clawing Shadows should take priority over Epidemic as long as targets can be cleaved. You can use one of your Epidemic charges right before you drop Death and Decay so you don't waste any potential charges during Death and Decay.

@CrusRuss i haven't really thought about t19 yet but looking at it right now  i find it really disappointing imo. They need to buff Festering Wounds  but even then  the tier doesn't really look all that attractive,  they can also change it so we are gonna have to wait and see how things turn out to be.

Would the number of adds (stacked for 8 yard radius) affect the aoe priority? I've noticed on packs like the one right before tyrant or even mythic manny imps (stacked), epidemic does SO much more than DnD/SS cleaving.  It could be just trinket procs but we do heroic and mythic every week so I've also tried both cases and it still seems epidemic excels at 4+ targets, maybe even 3.

Not sure to be honest, things like that needs to be tested on your own because it depends of your items / weapon / trinkets and find  out what works better for you. Usually Death and Decay combined with Scourge Strike / Clawing Shadows should be doing better than just Epidemic.

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.
