Any chance those of you running Mythic+ 10 and higher could answer a question for me.
Which Azerite traits are you stacking? I seem to see soulmonger on most of you, usually stacked to three. From that point what do you focus on? Infernal armor stacked?
Any help would be appreciated because the guides out there don’t seem to be matching what is being used in practice.
Thanks
Very late here. Anyways, my problem with Soul Monger is the rate at which we consume souls. We consume them in quick bursts, not 1 at a time. 1 at a time will capitalze on Soul Monger. BIG TIME. Like, having Shear. Every GCD you’ll get a 12k - 15k shield. Which is huge. But… 1 auto attack in high keys breaks that. And you have shear… which is horrible. Soul Monger is a no go. I go for IP. The one that heals you when you take damage every 6 seconds. I heal for… i think 24k right now? All 3 stacked. This will do about 15-20% of my total healing. I stack Hour 2 times, and the other minor healing traits. You do have the option to take Aura Armor, but that only reduces an extra 3-4% of damage, which soul cleaving 2 souls with an extra 4k+ in healing is going to do much more.
Edit: I currently have my “BiS” setup right now. Like all the specific gear. Just not the sockets and the 450 ilvl Shoulders and Chest. I go for Mastery to increase Damage, Healing, and Armor from DS. And Versatility for increasing my Damage, Healing, and decreasing Damage Taken. Every piece of gear I have gives only those 2 stats. As of right now its working very well. I’m just lacking in sockets and 450 Azerite Gear with the right traits.
The best trait for us right now in all forms of content is Revel in Pain, triple stack revel and you are looking at a 300k+ shield every minute which is nearly half of my entire health pool. On top of revel you want at least 1 essence sever, 1 Hour of Reaping and 1 Cycle of Binding.
Stacking any other trait beyond revel is bad, and anyone who says otherwise is largely misinformed.
Find a play style that works for you. You’ll have die hard, this is the only way, kinda people funneling in.
What moonpony said thats what the guid on discord says
Thank you all for the posts. I guess I need to break down and get on discord.
I see quite a few of the top 1% or even top 10% io VDH stack two hour of reeping when using gluttony and visions. Is the 1800 hp remotely close to worth it? What maybe every two GCDs? An extra revel in pain stack every minute seems like it would be worth so much more. Yet a lot of people don’t use even use revel or if they do they have 1 stack.
Some people stack immolarion aura 2 or 3 times and turn it into its own decent cooldown.
I have a lot of 450 azerite gear and have been playing with the different trait builds. I wouldn’t recommend stacking anything other than revel in pain, like other said, unless you know exactly why you are doing it and what gap it is filling.
For example, running gluttony visions build? Maybe skip things like immolatjon aura since you have lots of armor uptime. Spirit bomb? Take it if you want to smooth out your damage a little more.
If you look at how different the traits are for everyone on the leaderboards you have to think there are quite a few that are viable.
