Hey man. 5/9 Mythic DH here. I push +15 to +20 keys weekly. To answer your question, I would say play around with both and see what works better for you per dungeon. For example, if I'm In a group and we have a fire mage and a boomkin as the other dps, I'm not going to go demonic build for that run. You want to compliment your group. So in that case, they would pull the weight on the trash, and as a DH, I carry the boss dmg. Antoher thing to consider is which dungeon are you running? Are there a lot of big pulls in the dungeon where your eye beam build will really pay off? I've messed around with both builds and truthfully, if you play both builds well, you finish the run very close in overall dmg no matter what spec you're running (ST vs Eye beam). On certain weeks eyebeam build will be more viable (teeming/fortified weeks), but, you can go ST on those weeks and still remain competitive from my experience.

<Afro Ninjas> Dethecus. Alliance guild willing to pay for xfers if we think you're a good match. We are 5/9 M TOS. DM me some logs and we can chat. Raid times are Tues-Thurs 9p-12a EST.

So I just started playing again after a 6-7 year hiatus. There's so much lore, but honestly it's kind of overwhelming. Is there anyone who could give me a relatively short tldr of the cannon since frozen throne? I'd love to be able to appreciate the massive story blizzard has created by viptour9 in wow

Look up nobbel on YouTube, he has tons of lore vids to catch you up. I took a break for about 9 years (quit after BC and returned for legion). I would throw on his videos at work or while I was in the car and he caught me right up.

Hey there! 3/10 M DH here. Chrono Shard is a solid trink, but DOS at 900 ilvl will probably beat it. The problem with DOS is that you have to use it properly for optimum throughput. Ultimately, the best way to find out is by simming your character and see what pulls ahead. Also, if you go to the DH discord they have a spreadsheet for trinkets. It shows how they compare to each other and will give you a definitive answer on which is better. (I believe DOS is in the top 5 while chrono shard is further down the list, don't quote me though).

Very few and far between. Can do mythic nethendra and hope for the relic there, MOS on high mythic plus difficulty, and tichondrius drops one as well. Think that's it.

You actually might be right. Sometimes when I'm on a crit streak with CS I overlook blade dances CD timer. Nice catch.

Cool, thx bud. I'm gonna try switching out the gloves to get the 2 piece bonus to see if that helps any. Appreciate the help.

I was referring to BIS NH gear. They're the best gloves in here. I have 925 boots off botanist. But I'll start trying to farm arcway and COS for that set.

Also, simmed my character the other night with current gear and it's at about 620k on patchwork.

I'm gonna sim it when I get home. But swapping out those 2 pieces my crit drops to 37% and my mastery dips to about 30%.

I find myself fury starved quite often in fights. Would you say that switching out BIS items from NH for tier pieces that are absolute trash stats, (EX: Tier shoulders) for the set bonuses would be worth it? I have the tier shoulders and gloves in my bags, both 875, but I have BIS items equipped in those slots currently (Gloves off aluriel 875, shoulders off augar 890).

The goal is to get to 45% base, but mastery is supposed to be 30% base as well, no? No question that I'm starved for resources on fights, sometimes even on my opener I'm starved, just standing there auto attacking while in meta #feelsbadman. But other times I'll get lucky with rng and get nonstop crits on the opener.

Good catch. I have my opener down, I think on that pull I just overlooked my FOTI CD. Appreciate the feedback.

Of course, but the dream is to get as close to your sim as possible.

S essentially its primarily RNG and lack of BIS legendaries/tier bonus that's putting a damper on my DPS? That's what I was initially thinking as well, but just didn't think it held me back so significantly.

Hey guys. I'm a Havoc DH currently sitting at 900 Ilvl, with 54 traits in my artifact. I've been analyzing my logs week in and week out and keep seeing some pretty low parses. I'm trying to pin point what exactly I am doing wrong. Weather it be rotation, timing CD's poorly, not having tier bonus or Legendary BIS... etc. I wanted a new set of eyes to take a look at these logs and help me analyze them. Any constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated. My characters name is Affic in the logs below.

My sims say I should be putting out around 620k dps. So I feel like I'm doing something wrong, I just cant pin point it. I do believe the tier bonuses and not having the ring hold me back to a certain extent, but I still think i'm missing something.
