I still have to log on PTR to confrim this myself.

Taking the numbers of my last Sinestra kill with 44% Mastery and 30% critical hits as an example, this would result in an around 35% nerf to the proc with current heroic tier gear.

I don't really get why they are changing the DMC to be a right out bad choice, instead of changing its mechanic. I would imagine it should be possible (for them) to cap the damage output an item such as this is able to produce. Why not cap it at the values it is currently doing with heroic or half-heroic gear? That way, it would still be a decent choice for people that start to raid after 4.2 hits, and it would gradually loose its value as you acquire more and more Firelands gear.

Quirk · 05/11/11, 2:05 PM

The DMC:H change is targeted specifically toward survival (most play MM now, anyway) hunters and enhancement shamans (us) who are getting better gear - more mastery and crit rating - which causes a significant and unintentionally high value for this particular trinket. It's scaling factor would last until near end-game into the next raiding tier, and it's contribution to our overall damage is higher than necessary, to the point of it being a necessary gear element for raiding viability.

It's unfortunate, but it was to be expected. We will likely (hopefully) be compensated in some form or fashion.

I haven't tested it yet, myself, but I'm curious to know whether the 40% damage 'buff' to the proc damage is factored on the same table as our mastery bonus. If it is that would mean I'd be losing the 47% buff from mastery but gaining 40% back - making a base damage difference of 7% - but removing the critical procs is the real loss. As of right now, I get about a 50/50 split between non-crit and crit damage. That would translate to a ~25% loss, coupled with the 7% from mastery nerf (considering the 40% buff is on the same modifier as mastery) makes it a ~32% proc damage nerf. Simulated values for me would give a ~300 DPS loss overall, or a 1.2% overall DPS loss... I'm not going to throw a fit over 1.2%. We saw it coming.

Now, let's keep refreshing for more notes that pertain to us.

This might seems like a noob question, but I've been looking around and every site say we need 17% hit (for the spell), But I haven't seen any ench with 17% hit. how important is that?

Wind Shear no longer misses. Hit rating up to the spell hit cap is our most valuable stat after agility, hit rating after the spell hit cap isn't very good at all. Meaning it's worth getting as close to 17% as you can without going over.

That doesn't include the 3% damage buff we get from elemental precision (which presumably won't affect the trinket anymore either), so the nerf will be a little bigger for those of us that use it. Either way it'd be interesting to see how it compares to the current crop of trinkets (particularly the HC essence of the cyclone) with the nerf, in case one of those becomes more viable when 4.2 hits.

You're absolutly right. I neglected to include that into the figures. Even still, that's the difference of ~0.01% total DPS loss, bringing the maximum simulated DPS loss from trinket nerf to ~1.3% of total DPS. I'm still not concerned.

I'm more bummed about the probability of them not upgrading engineer helms / alchemy trinkets / other profession-specific perks (aside flat stat gains). May have to drop my newly learned engineering for blacksmithing.

Rouncer · 05/12/11, 2:30 PM

Reports are in that Hungerer has a different tooltip for enhancers stating that it provides the haste buff when Shamanistic Rage is activated. Haste is still really bad so doesn't matter much but at least it shows they didn't forget about us completely.

I haven't tested this on the PTR yet either, but along with no longer getting the buff from Elemental Precision, I'm assuming the trinket also no longer gets effected by the 3% damage buff from BM hunters/Ret Pallies/Arcane Mages. I'm also assuming the trinket no longer gets effect by the 8% spell damage debuff.

I did a quick run in EnhSim with the 40% damage boost, removing the ability to crit and removing all the buffs that effected the trinket. Using the default config.txt, the trinket went from 885 dps and 3.84% of overall damage to 536 dps and 2.37% of overall damage. From looking at the sim, it's a pretty effective nerf of that trinket.

I definitely agree with you that this nerf was coming, DMC:H was a perfect trinket for us and it was going to be hard to replace that trinket as our mastery increased over tier 12 and 13. The only part of this that is disappointing to me is that this is happening right when 4.2 drops. We are already trailing most dps specs in high-end PvE and seeing us get a 1-2% dps nerf out of the gate isn't exactly what I was hoping to see from 4.2. Hopefully we get some kind of mechanic tweaks in 4.2, but with it being so late in the cycle for 4.2 I'm not keeping my hopes up.

Græyback · 05/15/11, 3:05 PM

Hey,

being on the ptr an reviewed the stats of DMC: hurricane. On live I have 43% mastery and the dmg tool-tip says 7389 nature dmg. Logging onto ptr tells me that there might be a bug to that card? It's no longer able to crit but ist still benefits from mastery AND the 40% overall buff. The card deals 10345 nature dmg according the tool-tip.

I removed some of my mastery gear and the dmg of that card doped likewise. That may be a tool-tip error but I'm going to test that soon by punishing a dummy.

ticksmas · 05/20/11, 4:04 PM

Hello all... I have a doubt.

If I change the points of Call of Flame to Reverberation and, change the Glyph of Windfury Weapon to Glyph of Flame Shock? With this, I can use Unleash Elements, followed by a Flame Shock, and then, use 2 Earth Shocks (instead of 1) before the next Unleash Elements, followed by a Flame Shock.

I would like you to opine about this. In single target.

PS.: Sry for the bad English, I'm starting with this!

Best regards!

Deztroer · 05/20/11, 8:58 PM

Hey, Im not a big stats guy and kind of rely on EJ to figure out my rotation for me (Thanks) so i dont understand the why behind most stats. I tried that Enhsim and inputed the rotation it suggested here and got around 100 dps more by putting ss as second on the priority list and was just curious as to why this would be the case?

Shokolate · 05/22/11, 3:09 PM

@Ticksmas I tried all of these suggestions with my gear setup and normal rotation. I found that I received ~600 dps loss on EnhSim (sim time 1000hrs). #1, I don't see the purpose in glyphing the for flame shock when UE CD is 15 seconds, and Flame shock last ~17 seconds. Second, with higher ilvl gear, you're more likely to be GCD semi-locked and won't have the time to put in that extra ES. Third, the Call of Flame talents adds a significant amount to our dps, including the applied DoT, so I don't see reverberation ever being more viable than it.

@Dextroer I experienced a 100 dps loss by putting SS after LL in my priorities. To help resolve the issue, could you post your EnhSim config and output files? You will see how to do this by looking in previous posts.

Im not very good with enh sim and have probably done something wrong

LL Before SS

There's several things wrong with your config.txt file. I'm betting you must have copied from somewhere else, because it has stats in there from before Cata. Let's begin with the issues:

- Simulation time is set to 1000, which is probably abit too low to get stable results. You might want to bump it back to the default of 5000 to get more accurate results.
- You have the reaction time set to 0 min and 0 max, which is pretty much a pointless exercise, especially if you are trying to compare rotations. You're not Mr T, so just set it back to the default of ~250 msec.
- Your EP values are obvious from before Cata, so don't use them if you want to calculate any EP numbers
- The boss armor value is from before Cata, which is going to give you strange results.

Those are the relatively minor ones, but the big problem you have is that you switched off all buffs/debuffs. I'm not sure what you are trying to compare, but Lava Lash gets boosted up much more from our buffs than Stormstrike. Since the difference between the two runs is less than 0.5%, even with all the weirdness in your config it's still a push between them.

My suggestion is to open up EnhSim and reload the default config.txt file. Then just enter your stats directly. That should give you a more accurate simulation of your rotation.
