WOTLK Phase 4 Mage BIS Gearing Compendium

[Music] hey everyone welcome back to Kats College uh this is my phase four bis guide for wrath L King and I hope it's pretty helpful it's going to be very similar to the phase three bis guide where it has uh just a number of the same material covered but just for phase four now instead of phase three so I hope you enjoy it as usual all the different sections are timestamped in the video description so you can hop around as needed for whatever you're looking for and if you want to support the Channel please drop me a follow at twitch.tv/ criteria as well as obviously give a like And subscribe to the YouTube video and the channel much appreciated on that and of course join the Discord for any helpful Mage discussion or further questions that you have with that let's get started so the first thing to do is to talk about the different specs in Phase 4 full B and for that I'm going to use Savari spreadsheet just like I did phase 3 he has done great work here and so I highly recommend looking at it it's linked in the video description and what you're seeing here is the the times are the different encounter links for each of the different specs and what the MS means is that they're getting a mantide and also an inate so that's obviously going to help out arcane's DPS S as well as fire ttws and then the letters here are Sim config links for the Mage Sim which is also linked in the video description and then we obviously have the graph here as well and the main thing to take away from here is that fire ttw is still the best we see that frostfire is actually not too far behind and if it's getting a focus magic for whatever reason uh then you are going to do more damage than fire even with a mantide and a innervate on some of the longer fights however that's not really realistic it's more realistic and compare um fire versus Frost fire here and as you can see fire ttw is pretty much always ahead and then the other thing is that fire ttw gets magic absorption which is huge for all of ice Crown Citadel pretty much every single fight benefits from Magic absorption and for some fights it's basically a must so I recommend fire ttw um as usual Arcane is still doing competitive DPS in comparison to fire but uh on at least on the shorter fights but obviously if the fire the fight gets longer then fire pulls ahead and if there's any kind of cleave this is of course just a single Target tanken spank in the Sim if there's any kind of cleave fire is going to take off which a lot of the fights have uh cleave as well as movement if there's any movement fire benefits from those fights as well so fire ttw just absolutely the play and I should also mention that if you are ffb you're of course not giving someone else Focus magic and as fire ttw you're giving someone else Focus magic which is increasing raid DPS so fire ttw has that Advantage as well and then you may have seen me playing ffb for Lady Death whisper and dream Walker and also on trash that's mainly just for trash damage and also for that AOE on Lady Death whisper and it's helpful on dreamwalker you also get dragon's breath easier as ffb which allows you to interrupt the ads on both of those fights which is pretty nice however in the future I think fire ttw is going to be the play on those fights as well there's not going to be a need for ffb I'm just doing that right now for the first clear because I think it's pretty helpful um they could be longer fights and ffb is easier on the Mana but again it's a minor thing and I think going forward fire ttw even on those fights and then of course I'd be remiss if I didn't at least show his 3 minute tier 10 bit histogram comparison between the different specs and very similar to phase three where we have Arcane being much more consistent on the higher end and Fire due to its and same with ffb due to its volatile nature of crits is obviously has a lot wider spread but again in practice you're going to have a lot of movement on fights you're going to have a lot of cleave which is also going to affect fire and increase its damage in comparison to Arcane so keep in mind this is a single Target tank and spank in the Sim which is essentially none of the fights are like that um some are kind of close but for the most part none of the fights are like that so take this with a grain of salt so next I want to explain tier 10 gear and emblems of frost and so all Tier gear has to be purchased with emblems of frost and then upgraded so it starts at I level 251 and then it's upgraded to 264 and 277 using marks that drop in the raid as you see here and the only way around this is if you receive the tier item from vaa which makes vaa very important to do for the first four to 6 weeks of the patch that said VA vaa won't be available until week two of the patch for emblems you can get a total of 109 per week but know that there is RNG to the ICC raid Quest and depending on which of the five quests you get you may not be able to complete them even so as long as you are diligent by week two you should be able to buy two pieces of Tier gear and have four piece by week four so how the marks work on 25 you receive two ey level 264 marks from each of the five end wi bosses so deathbringer sour Fang Professor Petri side blood Queen cind Goa and Lich King for a total of 10 if you're full clearing the entire instance and if killed on heroic each boss will also drop a 277 upgrade token meaning 5 277 tokens a week if full clearing on heroic for 10 man these bosses only drop Mark if killed on heroic and only one each so this is similar to the trophy and token system in togc where assuming you are full clearing all 25 man bosses on normal and all 10man bosses on heroic except for maybe Lich King a 25man raid will be bringing in at least 18264 tokens a week meaning within 5 to 6 weeks everyone will have four 264 tokens for their tier 10 four piece and similarly to the 258 tokens in TGC the 277 tokens in ICC will take at least 20 weeks for everyone to get four 277 tokens and that's assuming perfect RNG CU they can drop in three different versions right and that you're full clearing heroic glitch ging from week one so just like Toc this is where splits are huge in order to get the tokens the 277 tokens and gear up your raid with that awesome Tier gear so for our tier 10 set bonuses they are incredible uh our two piece gives us an almost constant 12% haste and our four piece turns our mirror images into a huge damage cool down with 18% increased damage for 30 seconds and the set bonus also isn't tied to the mirror images living so you don't have to worry about that but this does mean that instead of using mirror images as like a threat dump or something similar they're instead used for Min maxing damage so be careful with that as far as how good these are even if you are in full phase 3 B with tier 9 four piece 258 ey Lev pieces if you swap two those tier pieces for tier 10 251 ievel pieces it'll still be somewhere between 150 to 200 DPS increase for you depending on the pieces that are upgraded so the two pieces is that strong that even though the gear is downgrading from 258 to 251 you still get a massive DPS increase four piece set bonus is also a significant upgrade however going from phase 3 B to tier 10 four piece and ICC items does require you to be smarter with the pieces you upgrade as tier 9 has hit on chest and Helm and phase three bis gets hit from its chest off piece as well so while tier 10 has hit on its gloves and legs if you keep your phase three chest off piece on with hit as you see here then you'll be over hit and it won't be a DPS upgrade for you to go straight to that tier 10 four piece similarly if you do the chest tier 10 four piece as instead and then you leave on the legs you'll be under hit and while we can of course do a bunch of veiled and hit gems GE in order to make that up that's less than ideal so this brings me to my recommended gearing path for gearing path it will of course depending on what your current gear is as well as if you get lucky with a vaa tier drop but that said just also make sure to consider hit when you do your swaps from tier 9 to tier 10 the two-piece swap is fairly easy and I recommend going tier 10 Helm and then gloves or legs and only go tier legs if you don't plan to use the crafted legs as a temporary off piece or if you plan to go gloves off piece from gunship for an alternative B otherwise if you do plan to use crafted legs as a temporary off piece which is defin definitely what I recommend then go Helm and gloves first for the next two tier pieces it can be tricky due to hit because you will lose all the hit from your chest piece but at the same time by the time you get these last two pieces of tier you should have your 277 ICC rep ring which is endgame B very powerful and has hit then additionally for more hit you can craft the 264 hit boots death Frost boots and thus your keuring path is tier 10 shoulders and chest with leggings of woven death and death Frost boots and all these pieces are a 600 plus DPS increase and that's with them at I level 251 and by week four you should also have tokens to upgrade them to 264 and with all four at 264 you're looking at a 1,000 plus DPS increase as you see here and so this is definitely what I recommend for the gearing path you first go Helm and gloves and then after that later on to the phase once you get your enough tokens to be able to buy shoulders and chest craft the hit boots and craft the leggings of woven death and then you should also have your rep hit ring and that'll get you to 17% hit and also just just cranking DPS huge DPS increase uh for the fusion loot PR sheet you know I'll just say it uh Pummel the Mages once again he just hate Mages and he he us once again um no I'm just kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding uh I have to say that I I mostly agree with it I mean I haven't fully gone through it and I don't know other castra PRI or what that well so I have to take what it says at face value but it mostly looks to make sense um on the trinkets I will say that flry makes most sense going to Mage um and DFO to Locks because both trinkets are semi for locks with Flory just you know edging out DFO um by a little bit or at least you know like a decent amount like 50 or something like that DPS but for mage Flory heavily outweighs DFO by like 300 DPS um demo of course is always going to be looked at for pryo on just things in general and I think that makes sense while progressing but once everything is on Farm then I don't think the extra pry to demo is needed um unless you are going to speedrun and want that gear to the demo for the speedr running but otherwise you're what speeding up Farm a little bit I mean it's it's the game is over so at that point I I think once you you have everything on Farm you just everyone has equal pry obviously you can still minmax the gear to certain classes to some extent as long as you're being fair and balanced with who's getting what based on how much they attend how much they're pumping how much you know how they perform things like that but yeah I would say that this this sheet overall looks to make sense you have to do something with loot you have to split it up somehow and for the most part this all seems to make sense for geming and socket bonuses geming and P4 is about the same as P3 so first just like in P3 with epic gems we now mostly follow colors of the socket as most socket bonuses are spell power now and are worth it so if the socket bonus is plus 5 plus 7 or plus 9 SP then just follow the color of the socket and toss in Rune Cardinal for red potent Amrine for yellow and purified dreadstone for blue or if it's a single blue socket with only plus five spell power on it like you see here you could also do a rune Cardinal Ruby but they're about the same DPS either way however I should note that when it comes to Yellow sockets it's best to gem potent if you are above 700 haste and and best to gem Reckless if you are below 700 haste that said once you have tier 10 two-piece then always gem potent because that tier 10 two-piece is always going to be putting you over 700 haste and I'm talking about haste on your character sheet and the reason for this is that at 700 haste haste goes down in value as it's a break point where when you are above 700 haste your rotation will often result in you casting a fireball with your living bomb exploding right afterwards leading to a little bit lower living bomb up time because if you had a little bit less haste then it would have exploded before finishing your Fireball cast and you could have reapplied it before starting your next Fireball cast and it's a relatively minor minmax thing that tier 10 two-piece again just nullifies since it essentially put us puts us always above 700 haste but until you get tier 10 two piece if you can swap your yellow gems to potent to put you under 700 haste then that will be a small DPS increase for you and if you can't because you just have so much haste on your gear then don't worry about it um it's not a haste cap or anything like that it's just that at 700 haste crit goes up a little in value and haste goes down a little as you can see here Cen he was doing some Theory crafting work made a graph for it and uh the main thing is like for example with my gear I am at 774 haste and by replacing seven of my eight haste gems with crit ones bringing me to 74 haste with a plus 15 DPS increase according to the Sim and then swapping the last one gets me to 694 haste but with a plus 33 DPS increase compared to that full haste setup because again there's that just very it's very minor but that that minor break point at 700 haste where you can then get that extra little bomb up time which on average can lead to a little bit more of a DPS increase but once again if you can't switch all those gems over and get under 700 haste or you have tier 10 two-piece then just don't worry about it just gem potent and don't think about it too much it's not an actual haste cap it's just a uh very extremely soft haste cap at 700 for you know 15 to 30 DPS if you switch your gems around for phase four craftables it is in the legs and the boot slot for boots we have death Frost boots which are your hit boots and then you also have non- hit boots sandals of consecration which are Spirit boots and then for legs we have leggings woven death and we also have light weave leggings but the light weave leggings um they're just strictly worse than the leggings of woven death these are just always these are better so you just always would craft the leggings of woven death and use these over lightweave leggings so we really just have one leggings craftable for phase 4 and then we have two different ones hit boots and non- hit boots for the boot slot now as far as how good these are they're eye level 264 so they are pretty good depending on what you are currently upgrading from for instance for the leggings of woven death if you are going straight from phase three bis and let's say you also already have a 258 tier chest you can use the 58 tier chest and the leggings of woven death as your off piece now instead of using the sky Weaver robes as your off piece and it's a 55 DPS increase give or take depending on you know some of the rest of your gear and your your sim config setup this is for a three-minute fight but um they're definitely an upgrade they're pretty good I definitely recommend using them I recommended in my gearing path so I recommend that but as far as the boots the foot pads of IC flow are going to be similar to death Frost boots death Frost boots are going to be a little bit better but nothing gigantic in terms of your DPS increase you're talking 25 to 30 DPS and then as far as how good the sandals of consecration are it depends on your the rest of your gear so I'm going to tell you just a simit to get your mileage out of those now again ey level 264 but if you already have something like the boots of the morning widow um you would think just by looking at them that boots of the morning widow would be a little bit worse but in phase three B comparing boots of the morning widow to S of consecration uh the boots of the morning widow are actually a little bit better but if you are in end endgame B in terms of phase four B and you do comparison the sandals of consecration are then better so it's going to depend on your gear so I would say if you already have boots of the morning widow it's probably not worth it to craft sandals of consecration I wouldn't worry about it um but it's going to again depend on your gear and then also if you didn't know tailoring cooldowns are out and also are tailoring Buffs then as well but the main thing is that since tailoring cool Downs are out it's going to be a lot easier to get all the cloths you need in order to craft these that's going to be Al going to require is the uh mats for that so Eternal fires whatever it may be so that's not going to be too expensive in terms of getting the mats for that the M thing that's going to be the long pole in the tent is of course the primordial serenite but primordial serenite you can also Farm up pretty easily now too so if you go to the PTR if you look at the defiler scourge Stone exchange vendor we can get primordial serenite for just 12 defiler Scourge Stones that's just you know a few dungeons on gamma plus and you're going to be able to get primordial serenite so even if you have to farm up the mats for this you don't have the gold it's not going to be too bad to farm it up you're just going to basically spam those gamma plus and you'll eventually be able to afford the primordial serenite to do these crafts for phase 4 Bo there's actually a number of useful Boe drops outside of obviously the craftables which are Boe as well but these are ones that when they drop in raid on ICC normal they are Boe and then also they can drop from the sack of Frosty treasures and the sack of Frosty Treasures is the ICC raid weekly Quest that you can do on both 10 man and 25 man you get a sack of Frosty treasures and it is going to then you know it's going to always have the emblems of frost for you and then it has a small chance to have any number of these items and obviously it's a small chance that you'll get the item that you want or even get one of these items but with everyone doing it they will be on the marketplace now they are also pretty expensive back in the day from what I heard and so with FL inflation and classic and everything I mean these are obviously going to be very expensive now so just keep that in mind but still you have that option um if you have a lot of gold or you're able to farm up gold or whatever it may be these are pretty good or it allows you for flexibility to if you have multiple raids or you're doing split raids you can then transfer if this drops um to one of your other raids or whatnot so we have the blood Queen Crimson choker which is the idle 264 non-hit neck uh it's very good so obviously the 277 is better than this but only buy about 80 DPS so if you can get this then you know you could get pry on other really good items and just forego getting the 277 neck cuz you already have this the ladies brittle bracers are your hip bracers again very well sted pretty good so if you can get this uh great as well and then the nightmare Ender this one's not as good it doesn't have a gem slot so if you can use the hit on petrified ivys sprig petrified Ivy is just you know it's go it's very good but if you're not using any of that hit on petrified ivys then this will be a little bit of a DPS increase if you need to go a non-hit wand and then as far as the shoulders these are trash drop and I would just largely ignore them I put it on here for completeness sake but they're not going to be used because we're going to use tear shoulders you're not going to use these as an off piece if anything I would use Lads of woven death on the legs as your off piece right I wouldn't use these but for completeness sake I wanted to put these on here so these are all the items that you can purchase with emblems of frost not that you're necessarily going to go for all these of course but I'm just listening to here all for completeness sake um first thing I want to talk about is me's misguided quill this is a living flame hopped up on steroids it's got even more hit than living flame and also a better spell power usage so if you for whatever reason if you're still using living flame then if you you could upgrade to this if you have the emblems of frost to spare but uh I would say just don't be planning to use living flame um this just have way too much hit in order to be able to use this uh but it is something that you know if for whatever reason you are still using living flame then you could upgrade to this and it would be a little bit of a DPS increase I should also say that these are of course purchased with emblems of frost and you should be prioritizing purchasing your tier items with emblems of frost so I would only be purchasing these items once we're at like week five and you already have your four piece or even five piece in case you need to swap something in but um once you have four piece then yeah you could buy some of these little ones if they are an upgrade but I wouldn't do it until then obviously prioritize your tier um the next thing to mention that's actually pretty decent is the belt of omission which is a hit belt so if you're currently using belt of biting cold or something like that like I on Sith I plan to eventually upgrade him to this is assuming I don't get another belt or something like that and same with yeah so a number of us are using a hip belt right now and this is just an easy little upgrade it's going to be a slight DPS increase and so it's a pretty good item and worth mentioning uh the gloves of false gestures and the meteor Chasers rayment uh the thing with these is they're an off piece right they're they're actually sted pretty decently um but they're an off piece and so then you would have to be using this over a different off piece um by week five or week six when you can can actually afford this item then you probably already have another off piece or I would hope leggings of woven death as your off piece and I would continue to use leggings of woven death because if you swap to these then the thing is then you're going to have to use the teer legs for your four piece so that's going to add a bunch of hit so unless that actually works out for you swapping over to this um is just going to screw up your hit plan if you've already gone the gearing path that I recommend with leggings of woven death and then Vols cloak the night sky is a 264 Spirit cloak um it's actually not bad if you are still using like a 258 cloak from tog say you didn't get one of the 272 ones then this is obviously going to be a little bit of a DPS increase for you depending on your 258 cloak so uh this is definitely something to pick up after you have the emblems to spare but if you have a 272 cloak then of course you don't have to worry about this for 10-man items there's actually a number of really good items from 10man these are of course all 10man heroic um which then are going to all be I level 264 except for the Lich King weapons which will of course be 271 that and they're going to be a little bit boosted same with on 25 man and lichking heroic weapons are boosted a little bit above 277 or 284 um this weapon pretty dang good it's going to be not be as good as the 277 weapons if you can make use of the hit the um from rig Morse or if you can uh if you get frozen bone Spike these will be a little bit better than teos but this obviously won't hurt against you in terms of item pry because it's just dropping in your 10 man so um this will just be a little bit worse something like 50 DPS worse than those other ones so this is a great pickup if you can get it pretty much all of these ones are here so I recommend just clicking on it and going through all these different items the big thing to mention is murd and spy glass which depending on the fight duration is going to be better than both flare and 258 rain so this is going to be something that if you get it early on in the phase you're going to be using it over your current Trinkets and is just really good the only thing that's better than this is the Flory and the DFO of course which are going to be extremely contested right so you always want to be running 10 man until you get this cuz even if you have stuff in the other slots um this is going to be just a straight DPS increase for you because even if you have phase three B trinkets it's just that good um we have a hit wand we have a non-hit ring so you could easily get this one then while waiting for Ring of Rapid Ascend we have pale carbs boots which are going to be similar to consecration so then you wouldn't have to craft those sandals of consecration we have a non-hit belt so if you need to drop some hit you can get cauterized cord or if you're just something to get until while you're waiting for crushing cold wrath belt right this is going to be very contested as well everyone kind of needs it kind of thing and it's a very good belt but you could get this while waiting for that um Lich wrappings is a hit cloak so it's only if you're using a hit cloak which not many of us are but you know it's something that you could have in your back pocket in case you need to swap things around and get some hit um ether silak bracers now these if you have a lock in your group they're probably going to want these because these can actually be biss for some setups for warlocks so you won't get it but if they already have it or something like that then you could get this and then you wouldn't have to buy the ladies brittle bracers which are going to be obviously very expensive and you could utilize these until you get the 277 brace hit bracers if you're going hit bracers route or obviously if you're going death surgeons then you can just have these in case you need some hit um the offhand is hit so again we're you know that it's a nice little upgrade straight from if you're already using phase three B offhand which is hit then you know we just have a nice little boost because it's 264 I level and very good um but obviously what we want is another non-hit one but the only non-hit one is Sundial of Eternal dusk so it is kind of a problem in that we eventually will need to drop hit um but the only thing to drop hit to is Shadow SL spindle or if get a number of these which is obviously subpar compared to Shadow spil spindle but until then you have Scourge lordge baton which you could use and still get hit from your off hand and it'll be a nice little DPS increase over symbol of transgression because it's got that gem slot it's going to actually be pretty nice DPS increase and then Soul cleave pendant is a non-hit neck so if you can get this then it saves you from having to buy blood Queen's Crimson choker um at the normal level right highe level 264 which apparently is going to be very expensive right and this actually Sims a tiny bit better than blood Queen's Crimson choker so the uh the goal is going to be to hopefully you can just get this instead of having to buy this while waiting for the 277 W or you can just spend a lot of your Loop item pry from your lote Council um on the 277 neck and just forgo either of these but um yeah the SLE pendant is very good so yeah a lot of really good items from 10man and obviously heroic Lich King on 10 man is not a gimme a lot of the other 10man stuff on heroic isn't too bad but Lich King is actually still kind of difficult so it's going to might take a while to be able to uh clear Lich King on heroic on tman in order to be able to get get this but once you can then hopefully you can get this weapon and that'll be just a nice little placeholder until maybe you get him on um heroic or until you can get one of the uh 25man heroic weapons like rig mortise or frozen bone Spike also I should mention that all these phase 4 80 upgrades links um they are in the video description so for to look at the phase 4 10 man items be drops craftables emblems of frost all the things that I'm going over right now in these different video chapters they're all Linked In the video description so that you don't have to just take a snippet of the video in order to look at these items you can just uh click it and it'll take you straight to this ad0 upgrades link so for fire ttw B there's actually a few different options you can go as Alliance and only a couple options as horde and so I'm going to walk through those different options for both Alliance and horde and then after that I'll go into more in depth on some of the specific pieces so for all these different bis routes the first thing I should say is that you'll notice most all the pieces are going to be staying the same between all these and there's only a few items that are changing around and that mainly is going to be the chest slot the neck the bracers and gloves everything else across all these different Abyss routes is going to stay the same your weapon offand cloak the shoulders head leggings belt all all this stuff it's all staying the same across all of these different bis routes so for the chest off piece you're using robe of the waking nightmare which is a hit off piece chest so with that you're getting a bunch of hit so you're going to have to use the non-hit bracers and the non-hit neck and that differs from the gloves off piece where gunship Captain's mittens are going to be your off piece and those have hit just like the tear gloves do so because you're basically swapping hit for hit and then you're going to be now getting no hit from your chest off piece you now need to get hit from both your bracers and your neck piece and so for the gloves off piece you get you go hit bracers hit neck as well as those gunship cap mittens and it Sims about the same all these Sim with about 20 DPS of each other and then the other route that you can go that I don't recommend at least At first I recommend going the other routes is 5X tier because that tier is going to be very difficult to get and so it's easier or relative probably going to be easier to get a off piece before you can get 5x 277 tokens however I put this as a pivot option of course because you know maybe you have a number of Mages that are all going for the chest off piece um or you get really unlucky with that dropping or something like that and so then you can rely back on this cuz eventually we will get all five uh pieces of 277 tokens but it's going to take some time right so this is a pivot option you can go back to or if you haveen a a plan like maybe you're going to get four from your guild and then you're going to one week go out to a gdkp and buy your last one so then you can have 5x tier I've heard some people they're thinking of doing that so you can go that route as well and then for this you're since you're getting 5x tier you can go hit bracers and hit neck but you can also just go you could go uh non- hit bracers and Gem some Veil gems in order to make up the hit from uh using the death surgeon sleeves instead of the HIIT bracers and vice versa you can go the non-hit neck the blood Queen um Crimson choker and then you're going to have to gem Veil to make up that hit you can go either of those route they all Sim about the same um so you do have some flexibility with a 5x tier option but the main thing is that it's going to be harder to get those 5x tier tokens is so just keep that in mind and then horde it's very similar in that if for the chest off piece you're going to go the chest off piece and the blood Queen's Crimson choker and the ladies brittle bracers you're going to be a little bit over hit cap but it's the best uh route for The Horde um you can also go 5x tier here but again like I already discussed with 5x tier 5x tier is going to be difficult to get so it's more of a pivot option something to fall back on but then if you do go the 5x tier route um same things apply that I talked about before and so you do have these couple different routes you can't go the gunships Captain's mittens as an off piece for horde unless you're okay with getting about an 80 DPS decrease so you can go uh similar to this for Lance but you're going to have to then gem some veiled when you go gunship Captain Ms as horde and doing that is going to result in about a 70 DPS decrease so if you want to go that as like an alternative bis you think it's going to be easier to get gunship Captain's mittens as your off piece and your horde Guild then you can do that but no it's it is definitely not biss and this this is just me showing you that in the Sim if you do these different routes um you can see as Alliance they're all going to be within 15 to 20 DPS of each other they're all basically the same um whether you go the 5x tier route or you go the chest off piece or the gloves off piece um it all works out for Alliance in that way but then for horde you can obviously go the chest off piece or the 5x tier which are going to be about the same about within 20 DPS of each other but if you go the gunship Captain men's that gloves off piece you're going to get about that 60 to 70 DPS decrease compared to full B so first for weapons this is kind of a Sim of all the non-hit weapons just doing a quick comparison of them and as you can see obviously the heroic glitch King 25 Man weapon is gigantic nothing comes close to it and it is basically the biggest upgr upgrade you can get from ICC um the staff from Lich King is also really good but obviously the one-hander is quite a bit better than it by about 200 DPS so you could go the staff route but no that you are taking about a 200 DPS hit um Frozen bone Spike and riam mortis will both perform similarly as long as you can utilize the hit from rig mortis so that just depends on your gearing path and what you kind of plan out to go for a last one like rig mortise can be nice in the middle of the phase as you're transitioning between hit gear and whatnot so don't discount rig mors just because it has hit on it so that's the only reason I don't have a SIM with the numbers right here because I'd have to sim it and swap other things around of course but it's going to be similar to frozen bone Spike um I'll touch on neong here at the end after I go through the rest of these cuz there's some Specialties with that and then for 10man obviously the 10man weapon is also pretty good now it's showing frozen bone Spike as a a decent amount ahead of teos but know that this is all in endgame B right here this Sim if you Sim going from phase three then they're going to be a lot closer in value so that has to do with frozen bones Spike scaling more with all the rest of this gear in comparison to teos but know that if you get teos yes frozen bone Spike's a little bit better but you're talking about maybe a 50 DPS decrease if you get it in the middle of the phase so this is still a really solid uh choice to go for and then if that doesn't drop you could also get hen um and then I included the 25man normal Lich King weapons just as a comparison as well because of course you know you might get those before it could take a while for you guys to get her klitch King 25 man it's going to be a very tough boss for a lot of going to take a while for a lot of guilds to get so maybe you go with a normal weapon before them but just know that if you get that normal weapon it's not as good as some of the 277 weapons or even the 10man Lich King heroic weapon so now for neong what neong has is your harmful spells have a chance to cause you to summon valkyri to fight for your by your side for 30 seconds as a proc chance of 2% um has to do with uh Spell applications and certain Spell applications work while others don't um for o ignite works and also like imp lizard so if you went ffp with imp lizzard for like trash this would be great cuz it could that imp blizzard is going to be an extra spell application that can help um proc and summon valkir so it could be really good for trash damage possibly speedruns but outside of that the problem with these valks is that they can die so here we have a chart made from the Boomin Discord pulled from moonkin logs using nibong uh we have about 820 logs so not a huge sample set but definitely a good enough number in order to give us insight into how well the valky survive from the neong procs and we can see that you know about a third maybe a little more will actually get close to their max amount of cast so the way the valkries work is they do a Smite cast and then they uh the Smite cast does damage and also heals them you know they can take some AOE damage and then they'll heal it up when they're doing their Smite cast but depending on the amount of AOE damage that's what can do them in so like on merar and Sy Gosa they basically are just going to die you can't even rely on the proc really and that damage you're just relying on the stats from the actual weapon right and then similarly um fights like professor putride and blood Council blood Queen they can also possibly die like if they hit by an uz on Professor petai they're going to die the AOE damage if there's any delay or same with blood Queen any delay in their cast for whatever reason then they're going to take out to the AOE damage if they spawn during Fester gut phase one or at least when the high raid damage is happening in that fight then they're going to take out there um so there's a lot of places where they can die and Lich King you know they're probably going to be fine cuz infest shouldn't be hitting the pets but at the same time there's a number of things that still can kill them like if they proc during phase one and then you go and transition onto the ledge they're probably going to stay on in their spot and take out to remorseless winter so they're going to die on any of those transitions um so it's just it's a very unreliable weapon in terms of the DPS that you're going to get from the valks you can't rely on it in that way and to help illustrate that you can see here that I have nibong added it's called nibong stats just as a custom item without actually the uh valky proc of course so just the stats that it would have if you just put the standard gems in there um You' get 893 spell power 10 crit and 10 spirit and then obviously the int and you can see here that if your vels are dying immediately or you get unlucky and the proc don't happen that this thing underperforms um by about 450 DPS compared to Blade Of The Unbroken Covenant which is Mort Talis for The Horde equivalent so you know if your Valkyries aren't working and this thing is terrible to be you just wear one of your phase three weapons you wouldn't even use this so like on Cinder GOI you wouldn't even use this um merar you wouldn't even use this and a number of other fights if you get unlucky with the procs or they just die to some of the AOE mechanics you get unlucky there or whatever it may be then neog is going to be a terrible weapon right it's not going to do well at all remember the the the Sim is doing uh tens of thousands of Sims and then taking an average of them and assuming the valkir are living and getting their full amount of cast off and we've found that on the PTR they can for whatever reason have a little gap or delay in their cast sometimes they don't just keep chaining them for whatever reason so you know there's there's some RNG to this there the neong is definitely not any kind of thing that I would consider B and even the situational B is very uh situational and something that I wouldn't consider B at all um cuz again that you know the whole conversation about this being situational B started where if you have like three targets and you do a Sim comparison of like H glitch King 25man weapon one-hander versus neong um the neong outperforms it by about 150 DPS and the reason for that is that you have living Bobs exploding you're getting extra ignite applications across uh all three targets which is providing for for extra chances for the valky so you're getting extra procs from the valkur and then it's going to outperform but you know again that's a real situational thing that is Niche and doesn't really exist in the actual game right we don't have these cleave situations where there is no AOE mechanics and whatnot there's some so if you had this yes you could swap it on for those certain scenarios but there's a lot a lot of scenarios in the game where that's not the case and so neong is definitely just a situational weapon I wouldn't even necessarily say situational abys and it shouldn't be pried I wouldn't consider going for this unless you go in knowing all of this information that I just Illustrated and you just want to have fun um but you're going to need to have a backup weapon for a number of those fights where neong is unreliable and you want to have a better backup weapon than just your phase three B one um so maybe you could just have a backup weapon of like of the tellos the 10man heric glitch king um whatever you want to maybe possibly do but just know that it's it's not something that you can rely on for neble and again as I mentioned before you know imp blizz on ffb also is extra chances to procket so maybe in speeduns you're blasting down the trash you could swap to this I think it'd be great to have for speedruns or just for trash in general I would love to have this as well as another really solid weapon obviously having both the herl glitch King 25man weapon and KNE belong would be amazing you'd swap to this just for certain situations and for trash and everything like that and then you go back to the 25man her glitch King weapon for the other situations and you could really minmax and do a lot of damage and I think that would be great and if I you know that's my plan and since this will be PRI is that eventually maybe I can get one of them and you know if I can I'm definitely making a weak cor that every time a valkyrie is sponded that it plays you know Valkyrie Profile lenth saying to my side my Noble on harar as well as you know her final move maybe mixes between saying that one as well as her finishing move deong gesti anytime a valkyri respond I mean that'd be a lot of fun having that weak Aura that's going to play that and you're just blasting on trash and if you get really lucky and you get a ton of valkirs and they're all doing damage and everything like that that could be a lot of fun it's definitely a fun weapon it's just that it's it's definitely not something that you can rely on but uh I definitely hope to get it yeah just have fun with this with a we Ora for sure off hands there's two 277 pieces and both of them are non hit so this thing makes things difficult because going from phase three B is obviously using a hit off hand and so um these should be priode to people who are going to need to drop that hit off from their offand um the best phase three non- hit off hand is 160 DPS worse than the shadow s spindle so obviously a significant up going to either of them the Su dial is only 70 DPS worse than the shadow slak spindle so you know it's not bad to get the sh Sund dial just know that if you do get this though you're probably back of the line on this one so just keep that in mind and then on the note of the hit off hands um what you can get in the meantime while you still need the hit from the off hand you can get the 10man heroic Scourge Lords baton which is about 60 DPS more than the phase 3 B off hand which uses hit so you can get this in the meantime that's a little bit of a DPS increase you at least have a 2 64 I hand uh ey level off hand and then eventually hopefully you just have a way to make that swap obviously it's going to be difficult having to make these swaps when we have to drop a a hit item and go to a non hit um you're just going to have to find ways to make that work with gems or whatnot so for wands I just want to first drive home just how good petrified Ivy sprig is um as you can see here the only hit wand is wand Ruby Claret uh which is from 10man heroic and so if you can get this it is pretty good it's um going to be better than petrified spr but not that much better obviously petrified ivys since the spirit is being a little bit inflated here because this is in phase three B and so that spirit is going to be uh doing a little bit more work but still you know you can just see just how good petrified Ivy sprig is that even into phase four it's still holding its own against some of the hit wands there that this is only going to be a slight DPS increase so if you can make use on the hit on petrified Ivy sprig then you're going to be good to go um all the non-hit wands as you can see the DPS here you can see that the 277 you could be you can get either of them and they're basically B they're going to be about the same DPS so you can be happy with either of those you have two different options for the wand but again you have to be able to be dropping that hit from the Petrified Ivy sprig to make this worth it and even then all other upgrades are probably going to be more significant than doing that swap to the 277 so I wouldn't prioritize these just get it when you do and again we have two different options so um it's going to be fairly easy for us to finally get our endgame bis wand eventually for your neck the only hit neck is the Amulet of the silent eulogy so if planning on going a hit neck that's what you're going to want for all the non- hit you can see the DPS difference here the thing to keep in mind is that uh obviously it's a decent increase going to the 277 neck from cry the valky however the blood Queen's Crimson choker the 264 one is Boe so possibly you can get that as well as the 10-man heroic one which is a little bit better than the blood Queens Crimson choker or about the same uh the bone Sentinels obviously don't recommend that it's spirit and it's not nearly as good as blond Queen's Crimson choker so only if it's rotting would I take that and then that it's only a little bit better than the 10man heroic so hopefully that wouldn't affect your loot pryo at all in any kind of way um again only if it's rotting but the thing is that yeah since you can probably get this 10 man heric or maybe the Boe one that uh I wouldn't pry the 277 one I wouldn't put it high on your item pry list because going from one of these up to the 277 is only going to be about a 70 DPS increase or so and so hopefully you can just get one of these and then just wait wait for your turn in line to eventually get this all right for cloaks there's also only one hit option and that's Lich wrapping from 10 man heroic so it's only a 264 so if you do need hit from your cloak or you're currently getting a hit from your cloak then that's your only option to upgrade that until you're able to make the swap from a hit cloak to a non hit and then as far as non-hit cloaks um this is the breakdown from phase three cloaks to phase four so obviously if you already have a 272 cloak it's going to be a very small upgrade and and you know this will get PRI to the people who didn't get a 272 and the 272 people will be waiting because this is hardly any bit of a DPS increase but if you don't have a 272 cloak then it's a fairly DPS fairly significant DPS increase depending on what your current cloak is um the main thing to point out here is that great cloak of the turn Champion we would only want to take this if uh you know it's rotting or something like that because it's spirit and it's you know 80 DPS less than the the full abys one from vther dream Walker um but drape of the sun reavers it's a significant DPS increase to go from dra of the sun reavers upster Frost binder shreded Cape so I put this as like mid pry and also note that the void Vols cloak of the night sky this is the one that you can purchase with emblems of frost so after you've gotten your Tier gear and you have excess emblems of frost you could eventually buy this and so if you're currently using sha to Devout Crusader or just needed a DPS or need a cloak upgrade then you can get Vols cloak of the night sky which is going to be as good as it gets in terms of it's better than all the other phase three cloaks outside of 272 so you can get that and then you're just going to wait your turn for the frost binders cuz that's still going to be a significant DPS increase it's 125 DPS over the Vols culk in the night sky but at least it's going to be something decent to use until then so for bracers the only 277 option that is non- hit is the death surgeon sleeve so for whatever reason if you're going non-hit bracers then that's where you're going to be going um for hit options as you can see going from dark s and bindings to the 277 ladies brittle bracers hit bracers is a significant DPS increase you're looking at about 120 DPS however the thing is the reason I also list these 264 ones here and then also The Ether soaked is these are the 10-man heroic and then these ones are Boe so hopefully you can get one of those two options while waiting for the 277 ones and then going from these to the 277 while still significant isn't as significant it's not 120 DPS instead it's you know somewhere between 70 to 80 so hopefully you can get one of these while you're waiting for your 277 you don't want to need to put these as high pry but if you get unlucky with these or I mean they're lock piss so then maybe they go these um in your 10 man and you're not able to ever get them or it's just too expensive to get the 264 then yeah these are a significant upgrade but I would still only put them maybe mid pry or low to mid because of that fact that you can get these two options if you're going from dark Essence binding and also if you're using non-hit bracers right now then you're going to have to figure out a way to go from non hit to hit and so yeah again I just put these maybe on the back burner as far as pryo so for belts for non hit options um there are two 277 ones but obviously the lingering illness is spirit so it's not as good for us but it's still pretty close so you know 45 DPS off um maybe you take the hit on this and you get item pry somewhere else cuz maybe there's a long line for the crushing cold wrath belt it wouldn't be the worst trade if you did end up going lingering illness instead of crushing cold wrath belt but it is going to be a little bit worse DPS the cized core is at least something decent to use because ciz cord compared to Belt of the tabar Smith so if you're using a non-it belt already or you're looking to drop hit somewhere and you're thinking of maybe doing it on Belt um it's going to be a decent increase to go to ciz cor if you get that from 10 man uh while waiting for your spot for crushing cold wrath belt uh C of the patriz practitioner from 10 man is you know You' only take this if uh no one else needs it if it's rotting because it's it's only 30 DPS better than the phase 3 B non- hit belt so yeah that's basically your non-hit belts and as for as far as hit you just pretty much have uh the belt of omission from uh emms of frost so if you're using a hit belt right now you're using that phase three bis belt the belt biting cold and you're continuing to get hit from your belt you can't drop it anytime soon or whatever um after you buy your teer pieces then you can use those emblems of frost to get belt of om Mission which is going to be about 60 DPS more than the belt of biting cold so not bad uh and it's just an easy upgrade not really going to cost you anything and so then you can do that and then you'll have a 264 belt and so then from there you know it gets a little more difficult to drop belt of biting cold for a ceriz cord which may still be a DPS increase if you have to drop hit but it's not something you want to force and then at that point you're just waiting for crushing coold wrath Bel for boots there is only one 277 option and that is the plague scientist boots and it is also significantly more DPS than sandals of the morning widow or sandals of consecration whichever one is siming more for you um it's going to be at least 150 DPS more so this is actually mid to high pryo in terms of versus other items I would say because it's the only 277 you don't have anything else that's a decent alternative there's no 10-man heroic one that comes close to it or anything like that and so plague scientist boots I definitely put up there and uh it's just something that um you know everyone's going to want and it just kind of is that way but that's why you can maybe put it as higher item pry cuz the problem is there's nothing else that you can take to just take a hit on your DPS and then you know eventually wait your spot on that like you're just going to be all far off of your B DPS amount while waiting for these boots and then as far as hit boots um the best option is your death Frost boots so going from foot pads of the icy flow as you can see here this is with um Sith gear in phase three not bit not quite biss but um death Frost boots you can see are only about 25 DPS more that's what you're going to do for your if you're using hit from your boots is the crafted boots so for rings I'm going to first talk about non-hit rings so ring of Rapid descent is B however we can get from 10-man heroic the C coiled ring which is 75 DPS less but it's uh still at least not a huge upgrade going from that to ring of Aid descent so we have other options and then as well we have ring of madne Whispers And memory of malos which are basically both the same ring except one has crit and one has haste um they're both Spirit rings so if those are rotting you can get those as something while waiting for a 277 ring of Rapid Ascent um obviously going from something like Nebula band or the anub ring to you know s or any of these three rings or four I should say are a significant DPS increase but but the point is that you have a number of non-hit options that you can get while waiting for your spot in line for Ring of Rapid as sense since everyone needs this so I don't put this as a high pryo item just because of the fact that you have many other options that are close in terms of DPS to it and then for hit Rings obviously you're just going to be using the Ashen band of endless destruction it's better than everything else as you can see here obviously if you want to get hit from your both your ring slots you could do that Loop of endless Labyrinth is what you're going to want to go but valor's other signant is also pretty close um so these should hopefully I don't think other classes maybe use this maybe they do I guess I'm not sure um so maybe you can pick it up for free or not affecting your loot pryo if you need to get hit from another item slot and you could get it from ring then and these won't be that bad um obviously they're 277 so if you're able to utilize that hit from these they're going to be pretty good um not as good as ring of Rapid Ascent but like you know maybe something closer into these ranges but again uh you probably ideally wanted just aim for hit from one ring slot which is going to be your rep ring and then the other one you're going to use one of these options one of these four or you're going to use one of these three options until you get ring of Rapid descent I should say so for trinkets here I have phase four B for every item except for the trinkets the trinkets are phase three B and then going from phase three B replacing the rain um to one of the other trinkets you can see the DPS increases here and obviously murd in spy glass again pointing out that that 10 man heroic item is really good so if you can get that it's going to be better than your phase three best Trinkets and then the only thing better than that is getting one of the other ICC train kits um obviously I put the 264 ones on here in case you killing you know normal syoa um you know maybe that drops and you it's up to you if you want to go with the normal one instead of the heroic like maybe you're first in line for fla Tre and then the normal one drops it's up to you whether you want to wait for it or not obviously it is 150 DPS more to go to wait for the heroic one um but then you have to wait and hope that one drops and so you could just take the the first normal one the first normal one is still a huge DPS increase I mean look at this and then obviously yeah the biggest item for us outside of heroic glitch King 25 man sword is fatory um or actually both of them I would put as about the same pile these are the highest PR items for sure flry is a 650 DPS increase over rain just insane obviously again this is with phase four abys for everything else so that scaling is kicking in but still it it's absolutely massive um and then just to put in perspective when I was showing the weapons before I didn't have uh mortalis included in here which is Blade Of The Unbroken Covenant for Alliance but I selected it down here and did a Sim and as you can see compared to the Lich King heroic or 25man Lich King heroic sword it's about 630 DPS and so yeah again the only thing that comes close to that is Flory so those are our two obviously most contested items and also biggest DPS increases so if you can get both of them you're in a really good spot um but yeah and DFO is obviously really good too but you can Flory is way better than than DFO both of them being 277 Flory is still 300 DPS while for locks I believe flry is better but only about maybe 50 DPS or something like that it's a lot closer between them for locks so the fusion load pry sheet has fatory PRI to mes and DFO PRI to warlocks I think that's correct um outside of demo for flry if you want to do that um if you're still progressing and you need that extra demo boost then that makes sense and then I also just did a Sim here with taking off all the trinkets so simming without any trinkets and then simming with both of them and then as you can see that's how much DPS value flry brings just by itself it's uh is an absolutely insane trinket so good luck getting it I hope you do and lastly this just shows the DPS increase going from a 264 token to a 277 it's about 160 DPS on your bigger items such as like your Helm and chest and legs and then if you do it on the shoulders and the gloves you're looking at about something like 115 around there so the 277 tokens are a fairly significant DPS increase and also since they're so highly contested they're something to put as far as higher py than other items I would say the last thing that I want to cover is Phase five items that will be coming so once Ruby sanctum comes out these will be available we have obviously no idea when Ruby sanctum is going to become available blizzard hasn't mentioned anything with that but eventually it will be and uh the first thing to point out is Trinket um actually I should just first say it's trinket bracers and also cloak are the three things that we're going to be caring about and they're all item level 284 however that said for the trinket Char Twilight scale it is about the same as DFO here DFO assuming about 15 DPS more but I would be happy with either of them um they're very similar in terms of they both have static H and whatnot just a little bit different proc of course Char Twilight scale might be similar to flare so it looks to have like a similar uh proc rate and whatnot so it could be frustrating in that regard but we'll see once it comes out um but you really i' be happy with either DFO or Twilight Square Char Twilight scale it'll obviously be unrealistic to get probably DFO and Fela before Ruby sanctum hits just because those are both very contested it's uh more likely that we'll be using Fela and murd and spy glass if you even do have a trinket upgrade by the time Ruby sanctum comes out and then now with Ruby sanctum it'll be an extra trinket that we can go for so just increasing the supply and is going to help increase our chances of getting two bis trinkets as opposed to just having the one and then the other thing is the uh bracers so non-hit bracers so obviously going from Hit bracers to non- hit I can't just do a simple comparison I have to actually do Sim with one and then I put on the braces of fiery Knight and I have some uh Veil gems put in on various yellow slots and then you get about 125 DPS increase so even if you're using hit bracers you know you could just gem some veiled and that'll make up for the hit lost so don't worry about the fact that uh you're going to go from Hit to non- hit you can just take care of it that way and then those are a very significant upgrade and then the last thing is Cloak and obviously going from the 277 to this 284 as you can see here it's not a huge DPS increase um you're looking at something between 60 to 70 but for a lot of us we're probably going to have 272 cloaks and we're never going to get this 277 one and going from the 2 72 to the 284 so you know obviously people are probably going to be proud the 277 that don't have 272 272 won't be proud of that and then once Ruby sanctum hits 272 people will be the ones PRI for the clo of the burning dusk at least that's my thinking and then that'll actually be a pretty significant DPS increase we're looking at about 100 plus DPS so that those are just some things to keep in mind with phase five once it does finally hit but we have no idea when that is going to be we have to wait till blizzard uh gives us more information but the main thing is that it's going to be helping us out with our trinket situation and that brings me to what I would put as kind of my priority sheet so obviously 25 men heroic glitch King sword and Fela are going to be at the very top there's nothing that compares to those also obviously very contested so I put those as highest priority after that some kind of weapon is at least going to be a significant DPS increase and also DFO or other trinket however that one getting that and flaer is going to be difficult so just keep that in mind if you get Flory you're Pro most likely going to be using Flory murd in spy glass is your end phase B unless you get really lucky with DFO drops or something like that um next PL scientist boots because there's nothing that comes close to them in terms of an alternative option and they're also just a really solid DPS increase um as much as like the 277 tokens or anything else basically outside of weapons and trinkets so I put plague scientist boots and then here it's also worth mentioning it's kind of situation dependent right if you don't have a 272 cloak then you should put something higher up on maybe this tier of pryo for you so it depends on what gear you currently have just keep that in mind and also what gear you get and what you get from like 10 mans and stuff like that as this goes on right if you get unlucky you don't get some of those alternative things from 10 man for some of these item slots then your priority on this stuff is going to change so do what's best for you just remember that um but this is just kind of looking at things from everything we just went over in terms of the DPS increases that they each give and the Alternatives that are available um so after that I put 277 tokens just based on how much of a DPS increase they are and how contested they are I think they're definitely worth going for in terms of pryo um maybe off hand then after that because it allows you to drop that hit if you get a good offhand if you get the shadow silk spindle and it's also contested so if you get that then you're to go but you know I kind of put a question mark CU like after these things you know it's it's kind of situation dependent and a lot of them have a lot of Alternatives uh a lot of those other slots and everything like that so it just comes down to which ones of those do you get Alternatives from like 10 man or something like that and which ones do you not and then you're going to PRI the things where you don't get those Alternatives but um overall this is kind of what I put just starting off the phase this is what I would put as my priority stuff for ffb I'm not going to spend too much time on this because really you should be fire ttw the only reason I see us going in ffb is is possibly speedruns um or just for those few fights like I've mentioned before like possibly Lady Death whisper and dream Walker but again I don't view that as a long-term thing just for right now or for the pump pump on trash and then again possibly speedruns we'll see I don't know if it's going to be like phase two where we actually want ffp for speedruns we'll find out um fire TD has a lot of advantages that I think will continue on with speedrun so anyways we'll see but for whatever reason you are going to be ffb for your final spec whatever here's your b list I guess um you want to go s lane rich list gloves if you're Alliance because you go that as your off piece instead of 5x tier which is going to be a lot easier to get um this off piece instead of 5x tier which is very contested however you can also go 5x tier and then if you do that then you go the non-hit racers but if you go the sun Lane ritus gloves however you pronounce that then you go with the hit bracers and this is your ffp because obviously FP right it gets more hits so we need to drop some hit items and that's one way you do it and then for horde um it is 5X tier is the best um you can go this route where you're going to go gunships Captain Captain mittens but the uh that is a DPS decrease about 30 DPS minus on that so you can go that route though for that off piece as harde instead of this instead of 5x tier since 5x tier is harder and those gunship Captain mittens should be pretty free um 30 DPS decrease but again this is all ffp where I don't really think it matters that much um fire ttw is the way to go so for Arcane the Bist are basically the same between hord and Alliance although Alliance also have the option of going the nonhip bracers the Spirit ones and then you gem some veiled and that will be about the same DPS um but otherwise they are for the most part the same which where we're going to be going those uh th Lane ritus gloves as our off piece in order to drop hit because Arcane doesn't need nearly as much hit um you can also instead of the ladies brittle bracers you can go the uh ether soaked ones cuz they have haste and haste is really good for Arcane compared to crit and so even though they're at level 264 these will be about the same DPS as ladies brittle bracers maybe a little bit easier to go or to get so you could get those um The Ether Sil bracers instead of these but otherwise this is your abys list um there's not too much else to point out that I haven't pointed out in the fire ttw a lot of it is the same right the big thing is rain of the UN living right we use rain because uh there are no dots to proc for Fela right so the way flry here um each time one of your spells deals periodic damage you have a can gain Etc and so the only way you can really do that as Arcane is you can you can pre-cast a fireball and then um because you're not using Fireball glyph do or glyph as Arcane you'll have the fireball Dot and that could help proc it um but then in the middle of the fight even if it does proc it there in the middle of the fight you need a away now you can use sulfuron Slammers and that will put a dot on you um gets you drunk and sets you on fire for for four damage every 3 second 6C duration so you have to just keep spamming these until it procs the flaer and then that is actually something um ocel simmed it it's something like a 225 DPS increase using sulfuron Slammers in that way but the thing is you're going to be drunk constantly then while raiding and having to constantly do that so I just I don't recommend it so if you're going to be Arcane forever um let other people have the flry I say instead of I mean cuz that just doesn't sound like fun gameplay to me however you know if you're fire ttw mainly and you just sometimes go Arcane to provide the buff or in your 10 man's your Arcane then yeah I me still get the flry for your fire GTW build and then you could still use that flry you just have to pound sulfuron Slammers which is going to be really annoying so maybe eventually you just tap out and say I'm just going to to toss the rain back on um but that that is an option otherwise if you're not going to do the dgen with the sulfuron Slammers and whatnot and pre-c casting Fireball then yeah it's rain of the unli and DFO for the bis trinkets for Arcane with that thank you for watching I hope you enjoyed the phase 4 B video I hope it helped and I
