Seriously a drop in nearly 300k dps going from S1 to S2 Tier.
Single target per raidbots and simcraft:
2.45 - S1 scale - 653 ilev
2.04 - S2 Scale - 659 ilev
2.38 - S1 Flame
2.01 - S2 Flame
Do you guys get drug tested?
How about test things before rushing them out and wasting peoples time and effort.
Getting the 4 Set in a new raid tier is suppose to be exciting… What a huge let down and Fail on testing before releasing.
Make sure you’re talented properly otherwise you’ll be getting underwhelming sims.
But yes I do agree – the tier set needs some love. I was quite annoyed when the shattering star procs no longer gives essence burst. That effectively butchered the tier set. At least in single target.
oh i am lol
There’s always the option of nerfing the spec and shifting power to tier.
No.
Devoker doesn’t need PHANTOM buffs. Adjust the tier at no cost to the foundation.
To further elaborate, re-allocations often result in a small net loss to overall damage. We are not settling for that.
Dev is already performing on the high end in raid.

That doesn’t warrant a damage re-allocation to tier.
What sense does that make? Slightly buff the tier free of cost to the spec. It’s a win-win.
When I was simming my character, it was only a loss in patchwerk fights but a gain on the dungeon slice profile.
When I took it in to practice, both as Scalecommander and Flameshaper into 10s, I did end up with a noticeable increase to overall damage going from ilvl 655 with 639 tier to 661 with the new 4pc.
If they were to buff the tier, the least they could do is make the shattering star proc at 100% power or cause the buff to only be consumed by fire breath because holding eternity surge on flameshaper makes it feel just a little awkward.
Why buff what is strong?
It’s not a win-win because dev evoker isn’t the only spec in the game.
Got some good news – hotfix incoming on March 25th to buff tier set bonus. Pretty significant increase.
Good news then:
Yeah, the extra damage, more procs for more shattering star uptime, and just a bit more damage from each stack is going to be a bit nice.
buffs are crap… they did 0
