I’ve replied to other topics about this but I think it’s important to have as it’s own topic.
After testing the 4p/6p of the new set, it appears to proc off grey mobs as well as critters. I’m reminded of the dig rat meta that some arcane mages would use, or try-hard warriors to get 1 hit on a mob via the dig rat ‘pet’ . The alternative is to use a rage-mob and immediately pull within the 15 second spirit tap window to try and get up 3 dots with a trinket/PI to snapshot everything.
Needless to say, because of snapshotting, a spriest going into the fight with the set bonus buff will have a large increased advantage vs a spriest without it (because once it DOES proc via the swp 2.5% , you’ll have to then get PI/trinket and reapply the dots, costing valuable global times).
I’m not really sure of a solution to this problem without a rework of the set bonus itself. Maybe have it so spirit tap lasts 30 seconds instead of 15 seconds but reduced the benefits by 50% (spriests don’t really need spirit anyways). Not sure, if I think of something else, I’ll reply here
