I have a hunch people will be swarming back to BM maybe not this tier but soon.The new raid is very MM geared favored in terms of secondary stat combos but I feel BMS haste and crit values will be enough to be competive all while being smoother to mechanic movement.
Ok, so I’ve decided to invest in a BM legendary and it’s basically two options of Soulforge ember or Rylaks Fang. Soulforge sims better and even with a macro it’s more management and I am hearing some mobs that don’t trigger traps won’t be the dot.
Anyway, I am leaning towards Rylak since I feel it’s going to scale better and is good for all modes. The downside being I am locked into BM where as soulforge at least is solid for all specs.
So which are you going? And also, which slot for Rylak? Boots would be better for secondaries over cloak but I am not sure if it it will clash when we’re able to equip more than one. M+ both have good crit+haste cloak and boots, so I am learning towards Rylak boots.
I was thinking about same thing. I told my guild that I wanted to raid with mm but it feels like it will get nerfed so Im leaning toward bm also. Im not going with slow trap+flare lego. Game play is meh and I feel like others will outperform later. Probably crating rylak one first also.
Kill Command hits like a wet noodle right now and it doesn’t scale with weapon damage. So it’s hard to see scaling favoring BM in any way. More likely it will need a buff every tier.
Rylak is probably better anyway. Having to depend on someone else to position enemies in your Tar trap is annoying. And if I’m not mistaken the simulation assumes you Flare each trap twice.
My go-to option would be Qa’pla. It’s the best legendary effect by far gameplay-wise. But it’s weak because Kill Command is weak. Getting more Kill Commands isn’t very useful when Kill Command barely does more damage than Cobra Shot.
I’m going Rylak. SE is just too clunky. Throw in that I’d also be having to place a Wild Spirits, and that’s just too much point-and-click for me.

Nice to see the feedback. I have a feeling soulforge will be good to make regardless especially since they plan to up the legendary equip cap. Like someone mentioned maybe Qa’pla makes a come back with buffs but at the moment it’s lackluster - plus it seems a waste with ANY cleave scenario.
I am thinking Soulforge Helm and Rylak Boots. Rylak first for me but you can work on both. Just makes you worry though with any drastic changes how many weeks or months of soul dust can go down the drain if there’ are alterations.
