Original Post:

i dont have any wws from when i was combat, but i tried out the 11/28/22 build last night in serpentshrine, and although i still did manage to do decent damage with it, im pretty sure that i would be doing better with combat (even considering the hemo debuff)

i was quite impressed with some of the numbers, but a lot of the fights dont lend themselves to the playstyle/cycle required to maximize the dps on that build, because many fights you cannot sit there and rupture everything continuously, or are forced to switch targets

ie. lurker, which is a crazy test (which i did finish first in overall damage ~1k dps if i remember correctly) would have had more dmg as combat, because you cant rupture on the adds because they die too fast, and you only get a few ruptures up when hes not submerged

fathom lord i still managed ~1050 dps which is pretty respectable, but also not optimal because of having to swtich targets to get the totems down quickly

the only real test i think thats good is tidewalker, where on our first attempt i managed 1260 dps for 50% of the fight until i took an earthquake + grave in rapid succession without heals and died to it ... our kill on tidewalker i managed i think 1150 dps with two graves but this was without mangle for a good portion of the fight because our druid died =(

also i dont have a dragonspine which seems to work much better in helping this builds dps so we could be doing gruul tonight and if it drops and i get it ill most likely stay with this build for a little while longer

overall i like the build and enjoyed using it so hopefully there will be a point where the overlap isnt so small, but i was used to having large leads on bosses where i actually got windfury (which was few and far between until recently when the raid leaders see that having a warrior and 2 rogues actually helps raid dps significantly) along with our enh shaman who previously refused to drop windfury when it was typically only myself along with a feral druid and 2 bm hunters

rupture was pretty amazing with this build too at one point in the night i had a 515 tick, dont recall how much attack power i had at the time though
