@Zirene @Foulhues @realharmen @UCL1243025 @del16727540 From a players perspective it can be frustrating, because it always feels like "just a few more changes" and the spec is in a good spot. The hard to grasp reality is there are dozens of specs and tasks that need a little work/time. Thnx for the communication

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Zirene @wowclassicdevs There are at least 4 timeworn items that can only realistically be used by int shockadin, but no useful ring. Are these DE fodder or could these see changes that make them worth holding on to?

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Zirene I've been having a blast with T2 holy shockadin, and just wanted to say thanks for all the work thats been put into SOD to allow us to play with all sorts of class playstyles!

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Valkemen @Foulhues @Zirene @AlacorFX @notoriusogb @brinkofwar1 @ChairmanBreezy The Draconic 4pc bonus works well with the 6pc bonus, as it makes consecration a great HoT (positioning dificult though). I estimate Hallowed ground can get up to 400 hps + with 1 target +200 hps to beacon. A really good HoT.

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Valkemen @Foulhues @Zirene @AlacorFX @notoriusogb @brinkofwar1 @ChairmanBreezy Hallowed Ground takes whichever stat is higher (Spellpower or Healing power), so bliz has already handled that issue. Using holy draconic set with Libram of Awe is an odd choice, that libram is for people who want to do pure heal build, that said you can swich librams in combat.

@AlacorFX @Zirene @notoriusogb @brinkofwar1 @Foulhues @ChairmanBreezy Personally my take is, 3.5k(holy sim dps)/5k(avg dps sim) = .7 of a dps raid slot. Holy healing logs usually show around 40% effective healing to 1 target (main tank) so we should be able to = .4-.5 of a healing raid spot. Effective 1.1-1.2 combined (usefulness?).

@Zirene @AlacorFX @notoriusogb @brinkofwar1 @Foulhues @ChairmanBreezy I agree with this, but opting into Optimal DPS is kinda weird atm, using mostly ret tier set, and is still low dps. It would make more sense if going full shockadin dps mode was breaking the 6p holy to grab 5pc ZG set bonus. Would be nice if the 5pc ZG set was more impactful.

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Zirene @notoriusogb @brinkofwar1 @Foulhues @ChairmanBreezy That is a safe assumption, the sim doesn't handle a different player providing Aura Mastery. If it had that you could eek out a little bigger numbers.

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Zirene @notoriusogb @brinkofwar1 @Foulhues @ChairmanBreezy His pics have Sanctity aura, the one under "player" is only for "Aura Mastery" the buff is under "Raid Buffs - Miscelaneous"

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Zirene @brinkofwar1 @Foulhues @ChairmanBreezy TBF you need to do the Ret 6pc bonus to do that high (no beacon healing). You can get much higher just wearing sword and board as an exo Ret build. That said as an Arcane Mage type build it has potential - gonna be real awkward to transition to though.

@Zirene @JurdiJD @AggrendWoW 148 int vs 92 str the og set was surely intended for shockadin ;) I'm stoked to have the OG color available, such a cool set

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Zirene Exciting! Thank you for the response

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Zirene Item master, what is the possibility upgraded Masterwork Stormhammer gets a little faster weapon speed before mc drops. So that it is more enticing to paladins rather than just tank shaman. (none/low/medium/high/done)

@Zirene @JamesTa06763448 @Ransacker0012 @Wooly_Collects @DazeKaze @AnarBdlov1 @AdamChodaba @thatguy_hob @KawneyEast cool tier set to chase after

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Zirene @JamesTa06763448 @Ransacker0012 @Wooly_Collects @DazeKaze @AnarBdlov1 @AdamChodaba @thatguy_hob @KawneyEast There has been items for 2 phases that have supported the Shockadin concept (SHOCKforge?) as well as the phase 3 teaser. That said I've been updating the wowsims today and shockadin's lookin solid. To bad ST "shunned devotee" is lookin BIS even at 60, if only there was a 1/2

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@AggrendWoW @Zirene @AlacorFX Shockadin won't need itemization since it can pick up mail/leather/cloth gear, for PvE. I think its pretty cool in PVP. Posted details on PvE multipliers needed for dmg if ya ever get a chance to put time/resources into shockadin https://t.co/HBNcoXaH6n

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@AggrendWoW @Zirene @AlacorFX Sorry, when I said scrapped I meant the shockadin specific tier set, which to my understanding is gone? I understand time became an issue with niche specs, even not so niche specs.

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Zirene @AlacorFX @AggrendWoW Releasing "Shock and Awe" at all is an interesting choice considering you comments, a more casual observer might come to the conclusion Shockadin will be supported, especially if they saw the in development Tier set, but don't know it has been scrapped.

[Michael Robertson @rob82684]

@Zirene Thematically, I like Int for vanilla hunter (of the Falcon items). It of course would need an added effect. Historically it has been + AP but thematically I feel Crit effects would make more sense like +crit chance or maybe even +crit multiplier
