Does anyone notice higher dps with these new changes… I personally do not notice anything…
thoughts?
pre-patch: I did 1-2% dps from Barbed shot
post-buffs: I do 10-11% dps from Barbed shot.
Do you see something different?
I see quite a big difference in dps honestly. I advise stacking crit and focusing on getting at 1 FF. Then Primal Instincts / Dance of Death / Haze of Rage. I wouldn’t worry about stacking DoD until you have at least 25% crit.

i feel a big difference in m+
in m+ before i would only be able to keep up on aoe, on tyrannical i fell behind hard
but now i’m keeping up with other group members on both single target/aoe, so at least in m+ it’s a improvement
Definitely seeing a pretty big difference on single target.
Multi-target hasn’t really changed however.
Not like it needed a change.
It didn’t. it was doing fine before.
I was mentioning it since I figure perhaps the OP was looking at MT and wondering why he’s not seeing a difference.
I’ve started tabbing through trash packs to drop barbed shot on different mobs - multi-dotting like a warlock. It did pretty good tonight and added some fun to an otherwise stale rotation.
In raid last night I got 4 gold parses and 3 purple parses… died on mekka and pet bugged on jaina.
I matched or beat my MM parses from last week with heavy mastery gear. I get my crit higher and my BM gear will likely outdo my MM setup just because of itemization.
Possibly. I had a similar outcome last night. I play BM way better than I play MM though. My purple parses as MM were still higher than my 95%+ parses as BM.
BM is in a good place right now though. We’ll probably be fine until 8.2 when iLvls go up.
Are you using your feeling or actual combatlogs to come to your conclusion?
overall my parses were either better as BM or equal to MM. right now it seems that its players choice… but we know that ends with new gear comes out and BM doesnt scale
For raiding i can see a high Crit and stacking 3 Feeding Frenzy traits (or as many as you can get) really usefull with the last buffs.
You only really want 1 FF, if you push crit you want DOD
