Legion
EN – did mythic progression/clear with you guys
ToV – stopped raiding during mythic Odyn progression (cleared heroic obviously)
NH – I got normal mode carried last week
Character Information:
- Name, & Class: Valtrexa, Mage
- Link to Battle.net Armory: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/guild/andor ... r=valtrexa
- Race & why you chose it: Panda, because it’s the best
- Professions and why you choose them: Tailoring/Enchanting
I have herb/mining on my alt. Keeping tailoring for that crafted legendary potential in 7.2
- Spec, Dual spec. How often do you play other specs? Still fire because it’s my furthest progressed weapon and because I have the legendary fire belt and no frost/arcane legendaries. Can play the other specs if necessary once my relics/traits/potential legos are caught up.
- Explain your choice of gear for main & offspecs (include stat priorities and breakpoints):
Fire gear is haste>crit>int>vers>sp>mastery for ST and they are all of similar value since 7.1.5 whereas crit was miles ahead in early Legion. I have haste first because I have Gul’dan trinket which gains substantial value from more haste. The 2 BiS fire trinkets from NH both gain tremendous value from haste which therefore makes it the most appealing stat for fire right now. Aoe stat priority is a bit different as mastery becomes the most valuable followed by int>crit>haste>vers>sp.
Arcane is mastery>crit>int>vers>sp>haste for ST and aoe
Frost is crit>int>haste>sp>vers>mastery for ST and frost aoe is similar except haste is less valuable than sp and vers.
- Explain your normal rotation and spell/ability priorities:
For single-target Fire, it’s more of a priority list than a rotation but outside of Combustion, it would look something like this:
1. Assuming RoP talent is picked, use RoP if you have 2 charges.
2. If meteor is talented, cast meteor
3. If living bomb is talented, cast LB if more than 1 target
4. cinderstorm on cooldown if picked over meteor
5. Phoenix Flame if sitting on 3 charges and you’ll regain the charge before Combustion comes off cooldown (casted at the end of a fireball).
6. Fireball
7. Fire blast during next fireball cast if previous fireball crits
8. Instant pyro to consume hot streak buff from 2x crit in a row. Go back to step 6 unless cd’s in 1-5 are up.
With my legendary belt, scorch replaces fireball sub 30% boss hp.
Combustion sequence
RoP > Combustion as RoP cast ends > pyroblast (ideally you are sitting on 1 as combustion comes off cooldown) > FB>pyro>FB>pyro>FB>pyro>PF>pyro>PF pyro>FB
Opener
Precast Pyroblast if not using pot; if using pre-pot precast fireball>RoP>combustion>assuming the precast crit, use PF, if no precast crit use PF with Fire Blast>combustion sequence above starting from the first pyro
If using Cinderstorm talent, you precast fireball>cinderstorm>rop>combustion right before cinders hits target to gain 5 stack Pyretic Incantation
There are slight changes to the sequence if you have the legendary fire hat or bracer. With hat, you choose DB crit talent over Flame On and use DB on cooldown. With bracer, you hard-cast pyroblasts with proc for actual damage.
AOE Rotation
Dragon Breath > Living Bomb> ST highest hp target> use Hot Streak procs on Flamestrike if 4+ targets, (2+ targets with shitty flame patch talent)
- Prior guild(s) & your reasons for leaving:
See here for pre-Simple Math: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=15873
Simple Math – never left but got completely overwhelmed with work going into holiday season couldn’t be reliable for 4 days/20 hours so became a dirty casual. Business is back to normal, plus I’ve hired on additional help and SM raid times moved from 7pm to 8pm est so raiding is doable again for me.
Other Information:
- A Screenshot of your character's UI (THIS NEEDS TO BE A SS IN A RAID): https://postimg.org/image/tjpacr8a1/ DBM timers appear on the right side when active. This is the same pic from my original app because I haven’t changed anything.
- Logs from warcraftlogs or worldoflogs: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/rankings/c ... 172/latest
That link is from a normal NH pug I did with some members of the guild at like 2AM last weekend without knowing any of the fights and using the wrong talents/trinkets.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/aP ... amage-done
I think this is the most recent log from raiding with the guild.
- Why Simple Math? How did you find us? Is there anyone you know in Simple Math? Because I raided here until 2 months ago and liked it. I know Superdeux, he taught me everything I know about mage
- What kind of computer do you use? CPU/Memory/Video Card? Typical FPS during a 25-man raid? I built this computer a couple years ago. CPU is Intel i5-4690. Memory is Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2x4) DDR3 1600 MHz. Video card is a GTX 760. FPS doesn’t really drop below 60.
