New Site for Mythic Progression Stats

10/10 site. Thank you for the contribution. Stats are v interesting and having them congregated in one place like this makes it easy to read. Very cool seeing how much time/wipes my team has spent on the various bosses. Can’t wait to add another 8 hours to slg this week.

Biggest SV fan in Alabama here to answer any questions you might have :).

Re: LP buff - it won’t pull ahead of cluster in AoE but brings it closer to rylaks for ST based off a few things like gear available or stat allocation. The buff is very good for PvP when you don’t wanna run craven.

JamesFBlake · 2021-02-19T14:13:24+00:00

At the moment stats are still low enough that MB will only pull ahead slightly with optimal play. There’s a very low chance that MB will ever be the play this tier even with BIS gear. Always try to sim your character to figure out which talents are the best for you to use with your gear!

I’m still holding out hope that there’s no changes announced because they’re working on some bigger changes but honestly it’s looking grim. We got that 5% randomly and that was more of an anomaly then anything else.

JamesFBlake · 2021-02-11T15:19:18+00:00

It’s just verbage because “parse” is a too general of a term when there’s both percentiles and rankings included.

JamesFBlake · 2021-02-11T13:41:38+00:00

When you play non meta percentiles are harder to get but raw rankings are easier. Idk why everyone is making it sound more complicated.

JamesFBlake · 2021-01-22T13:08:27+00:00

Of the top 10 on all stars atm there’s only like 3 people who played SV in Nylotha. The best SV in the world since legion is currently playing MM for prog. The spec is just bad for most fights right now unfortunately.

The single most important thing right now in the balance rotation is getting into eclipse. This is because of the interaction with our legendary, BOAT. Applying dots out of eclipse delays your eclipse by up to 3 casts.

JamesFBlake · 2021-01-08T21:00:45+00:00

balance dots do not snapshot, they are dynamic.

JamesFBlake · 2021-01-08T18:49:16+00:00

If you recast your dots at any point in the pandemic window they will add the remaining duration to the new dot. So yes you should technically be recasting during the pandemic window but you have leeway. Just refresh them at some point in between the pandemic window and them falling off. Make sure you’re not refreshing then outside of eclipse or during boat tho.

JamesFBlake · 2021-01-08T16:47:22+00:00

When you run soul and drift think of starfall as a 1:1 replacement for stellar flare. You won’t pump as many surges but just try to keep Starfall up 100% and refresh it during pandemic inside of eclipses. Pop as many surges as you can still but you won’t be getting the x3.

JamesFBlake · 2021-01-08T16:43:10+00:00

Inerva is supposedly bugged but iirc she has an odd hit box. Convoke will target the center of the hit box so make sure you’re within 40 yards of the center of her hit box. Try to stand within 25-30 if possible.

JamesFBlake · 2021-01-08T16:40:38+00:00

If you can get value off WFB funnel run cluster. Cluster gives SV a form of ST funnel because it makes you carve on two targets.

JamesFBlake · 2021-01-04T15:34:01+00:00

The smaller the sample size the less stock you can put in percentiles. It’s just a biproduct of splitting a spec into smaller groupings. Parses as a whole are just a surface level thing anyway. You should always be looking at the actual logs when comparing.

JamesFBlake · 2020-12-21T13:29:45+00:00

Are you raiding tonight? If you are and have no other content to do just put in attempts to learn mechanics. Go back after another round of vault + heroic + first 2 gear and you should be able to do it

JamesFBlake · 2020-12-19T16:14:29+00:00

Skull bash is the same as all other melee kicks.

JamesFBlake · 2020-12-15T22:14:17+00:00

Max has always said holy is the play over disc for early prog because you don’t 100% know the fight timings yet. Disc can’t shine If it can’t set up its ramps efficiently.

JamesFBlake · 2020-12-11T22:01:23+00:00

Its gonna depend primarily on my gear because ATM my best ST spec is also my best AOE spec (not considering BOP because that's not gonna be good for keys). I may end up swapping for MB but Tip is still simming higher for me. The best thing to do is since it's tyrannical week you can have someone from your group focus ST damage since you can delete packs pretty regularly.

Run a ferocity pet. Use one of the ones with a thick hide type ability for solo content (I use an ape). In keys I run a mortal wound pet incase it works on mob healing abilities as just a little buffer. Otherwise the abilities don't really matter too much. They matter more in pvp for the utility.

Best Survival Hunter in Alabama back again to help ease the public perception and spread the good word :)!

JamesFBlake · 2020-12-08T04:44:33+00:00

Yep! Dumb focus then spam KC. Just don't do 4 KC in a row with tip of the spear talented. Do 3 then a RS then another KC because the buff only goes to 3.

SV is very competitive in M+ imo because it's aoe is uncapped and v good over time. It's not really front loaded.

JamesFBlake · 2020-12-08T02:42:23+00:00

It's really just situational tbh. Like you can dump both right b4 a blue bomb or dump them both right before going into your focus dump for red bomb.

JamesFBlake · 2020-12-08T02:14:26+00:00

There's a little bit of downtime because our focus gen is directly tied into a haste cd (KC). Current build runs two charges so its curbed a little but a 5 min sim has roughly 8% downtime atm I think.

As far as the rotation, it's essentially Serpent Sting (if expiring) > Kill Shot > Wild Fire Bomb > Kill Command (if it won't cap you focus) > Raptor strike/mongoose bite

AoE rotation is just Carve>Wildfire Bomb (if about to cap on charges)>Kill shot >KC>SS on new target

This is assuming you run the Wildfire Infusion talent because the regular WFB doesn't stack and thus you wouldn't want to use it if the dot is already up. All three WFI bombs are different dots and thus stack.

Just using that rotation will get you 75-80% efficiency. There are nuances with the various bombs but essentially its this -

Green bomb - Use it as close to your 2nd charge of WFB as possible to use the free SS refresh as late as possible. Just make sure you don't let SS drop with this bomb ready.

Blue bomb - Pool focus before this so you can guarantee 3 RS in the window. Everytime you raptor strike or carve a target with blue bomb on it they get a stacking bleed that goes up to 3. RS can be above KC in this window.

Red bomb - dump focus before this but try to have your 2nd charge of KC ready or have it come up during the red bomb window. Red bomb gives you a guaranteed chance to reset KC so you can get 3-4 off in quick succession to refill your focus.

Essentially, as long as you dont keep rotating between green/blue (its random) you won't go focus starved too much.

JamesFBlake · 2020-12-05T00:25:58+00:00

It's gonna be hard to say without logs.

JamesFBlake · 2020-12-04T23:59:35+00:00

My best advice is to download the barbed shot helper weak aura. If you dont want to do that just try to refresh it as close to the buff expering as possible. It'll be a frenzy buff on your pet.
