I am a little upset that Scalecommander Tier is so amazing but not the go to for dps now, I really dont enjoy Flameshaper. What are the chances they will Buff scalecommander?
Probably pretty low, it’s already good. If you don’t want to play flame and want to play scale I recommend pvping. Flame is actually abysmally bad in PvP and Scale is insanely good because of PvP modifiers and QoL differences.
If you’re not pushing RWF or trying to CE in the next 4 weeks, play the spec you want. Scalecommander may not be meta, but its still viable. You dont need to chase the sweats to play the game.
If you’re consistantly playing with pugs, you’ll want better performance at some point. Especially if you’re pushing keys in the 12+ range or doing the first few bosses in mythic, not just CE. They’ll be looking at your logs.
Agreed…i hate flameshaper playstyle with a passion…scalecommander is fun but its on a 2min cd and only up for 10secs
For the first part, that’s blatantly incorrect, its definitely not a 2 minute cooldown for Deep Breath (At least not for Dev)
Onyx Legacy (Dev Tree Talent) - reduces to a 1 minute cooldown
Wingleader (Scalecommander Talent) - causes bombardments to reduce cooldown by 1 - 3 seconds each time bombardments proc.
This is effectively a 30 - 50 second cooldown for Deep Breath(depending on the number of targets) given that bombardments trigger pretty frequently and can be triggered by allies as well as yourself.
As for the second part, also incorrect. The squadron lasts 15 seconds with 4 set bonus and this is after you land, they also cast Pyres during the Deep Breath. So we’re talking more like a 20 second uptime, not 10.
Let’s say in a multi target cleave situation, averaging out bombardments procs, this would work out to around an (up to) 20 seconds of squadron on an approximately 40 second Deep Breath cooldown, that’s like a 50% up time on squadron.
Unlikely. Maybe if they shut down the discord…
Remember not to take any low ball offers. Double digit buffs or bust.
I used to enjoy Scalecommander, but after playing flameshaper for season 2 I cannot stand how boring the disintegrate spam is compared to the complexity of flameshaper’s fire themed rotation. I’d say give flameshaper another try.
They’ll never take my mass disintegrate away from me.
Placed AoE is just not fun for most
