Shadow Priests, what are you currently simming?

i584, 19.88% haste with an Ara-Kara Sacbrood, I’m at 658,000. Archon ST build (without crash).

Are any of you breaking 700,000? 800,000? I’m the lowest sim on my raid team.

As of Sep4,2024 - 12:40PM using the same build - Archon ST no Shadow Crash.

ilvl587. 11% Crit, 17% Haste, 11% Mastery at 699,424

Note: I’m sitting my SP for Ele for Prog :')

You crafted embellished cuffs and brought your Sacbrood to i593. I’ll do the same and re-test. I need that Strapped RescueKeg too. I got the “Emergency Stop” Keychain. Also Haste/Mastery, but they’re flipped.

Appreciate it

Edit: Increased to 680,104 with the new crafted bracers, boosting my Sacbrood to i593 and boosting my renown helmet to i606 as you did. It’s a start.

Yup, I maxed the Haste/Mastery items. I’m also using budget enchants. I’m sure if you used TWW enchants, you’ll break the 700K sim.

Holy crap, full i590 haste/mastery crafted everything.

21% Haste, 13% mastery with with 51,800 int, TWW enchants and three new gem sockets.

God damn, brother. Thank you for the link. I’m at 699,000 now, but I don’t think I can go much further without dropping all the gold on gems and new enchants

Yeah, if I wasn’t a tailor/enchanter I wouldn’t have bothered going that hard on 590 crafted gear. It is more crest cost effective to craft 590 gear though.

It takes 30 crests for the 590, but takes 45 crests to upgrade an adventure track item to 590. So even if you have an adventure track item you want to upgrade to 593, if you don’t mind spending the gold, you can craft a 590 in that slot, then only need to spend another 15 crests (45 total) to get the item at 593. If you just straight upgraded the item, it’d require 60 crests to make it 593.

It’s the 5% mastery. That’s the difference. I have 1.5% more haste than you, but you have 5% more mastery than me. That translates to 15% additional damage with all three DoTs up, and that 15% is about the difference between my 699,000 and your 750,000. I’m stuck with about 3800 versatility I don’t want, but I didn’t craft Haste/Mastery gear like you did.

I’m 585, simmed 682k single target using Voidweaver and 694k using Archon. I’m at 20% Haste, 11% Mastery, 8% Crit and 2% Vers with 50k int.

Yep. At i586 with 23% haste, 8.5% mastery and an Archon ST build, I’m at 699,000.

Seems like we’re in the 700,000-750,000 range. Which is okay. That’s where I’m seeing Ret, Dev Evoker, Frost Mage, Windwalker etc. Elemental is a little ahead. Arcane is WAY ahead.

Hopefully we’ll scale well, but I think our ST is shaping up to be pretty mid-tier.

Appreciate the data point.

Wild, but awesome!!

Best I can do, definitely went overboard on the haste / mastery for the comfort factor and not using any expensive enchants.

Nice, 762,000! A new high score!

It went up, crafted a cloak. Cant run til EU servers are back up.

Cloak added.

650k gear only no enchants.

730k, mastery is stronger at this ilvl, the stat scaling on haste is just awful. 14% haste 12% mastery.

That’s also what I’m seeing.

587 t3 stonebound

10 mast

737k, it’s obscene. My Arcane is simming 700k, it’s been 80 for 6 hours, 560 with an M+ build vs my SP that has a raid build, decent gear and enchants, plus arcane v shadow gameplay wise is an absolute disgrace, I feel like I’m going back in time playing my SP.

And that’s interesting because our guild Arcane is simming 916,000, while my spriest is sitting right around 699,000. He’s 27% ahead of me with worse gear. Spriest definitely needs some help. Although it’s perhaps intellectually dishonest to compare the literal worst ST spec in the game to the best. Our Ret is 746,000 now, for a different comparison. I think 700-750k is totally fine for week one. Arcane is an outlier. So is Demo, Fury and potentially Windwalker. We have an Assassination rogue also simming 890,000.
