For both mythic raiding and dungeons what are people going to be waiting for?
Mind flays? Infinite stars? Mastery 3, twilight devastation?
I’m not waiting. I put mastery on my stuff already. Super fun!
I’m debating it as well, how many are you stacking? I was thinking of waiting for mastery 3
This is exactly what im doing, currently severe rank 3 with a expurg AM build is simming the best for myself right now, but you lose a lot of your AoE, masterful is consistently good with st and AoE

I really want to try 8 Masterful 3s, IS is good but 200% mastery sounds scary especially on short fights when you can’t rack up IS on shorter fights.

I might go with whatever comes out first, infinite stars 3 or mastery 3.
Summing 90k plus with is

Stat amps work best of you have a lot of that stat. You only have 800-900 mastery so Max masterfuls would get you 800-900 more where if you had 2000+ mastery the effect would be much greater.
Since we don’t have much agency over our gear we are again at the mercy of RNGesus.

I have like 5x rank 2 mastery things so far. I’m at 3339 passive mastery (87% holy damage bonus). I’m gonna get as many as I can.
I’m critting people in arena for 200-250k quite regularly. Still a lot of room for more.

I do worry that stat stacking may get nerfed. After the Gushing Wounds nerf there is so much talk about specs (like Fire Mages) that can still stack stats and wreck people.
Stat amps depend too much on gear for bloodmallet
I’m surprise you don’t want to push your haste above 50% to get rid of our rotational downtime.
sounds like best all around would be 1x or 2 x teir 1 ineffiable truth (stacking the teir 1 is more dps per corruption than teir 2 ineffable), a few masterful 3’s, and some honed mined 3 (mastery proc) procs. Get gear that stacks mastery as well.
The reason mastery is so good is because of azerite trait synergy. you have avenger might increase mastery during wings. You want 1x empy power just for the proc, a x2 lights decree, and try to stack 3x avenger’s might. when you have a bunch of percentage increase mastery via masterful 3, that adds up, as well as the mastery proc.
you want at least rank 1 ineffiable truth because ineffiable reduces CD on wings. You also wanna run vision of perfection major trait.
It’s just a bunch of mastery percentage stacking, static proc statcing, stacking on wings, with wings random proc via vision.
basically with the changes everyone is now looking at the best dps per corruption. twilight devastation is out because its just so much corruption and its proc is so low. the weapon itself is good to cleanse and use though because its a higher ilevel item.
if you’re wondering, the mastery proc corruption is always 26.15 mastery proc per point of corruption for every teir. so you can use the smaller tiers to fill if you only had say 15 point of corruption left before a corruption breakpoint.
because of this, using both the corruption minors might be better than another minor just because you get another 10 points of corruption to play with, meaning at the end you’d have 145 corruption resistance total, if you’re only going to 39 corruption break point you’d have 184 corruption point to play with towards the end of the cloaks upgrading.
the other limitation is that you can only corrupt 8 pieces of gear.
personally i use vision of perfection major, worldvein minor, memory of lucid minor, and breath of the dying minor (have to keep this one because it has 10 cor resistance). I’d probably replace worldvein because of it’s ramp up time to get 3 shards
For the rest of your gear, I would keep anything high ilevel that has a lot of mastery. just stack mastery.
I think i’m going to shoot for this:
ineffiable truth r1 x2 (12 cor each) = 24 cor
masterful r3 x 4 (48% mastery increase) (20 cor each) = 80 cor
mastery proc r3 x 2 (35 each) = 70 corr
= 174 corr total
**ineffiable r1 in on the vendor today. i’d go buy it now if youre going to do a mastery build.

Why would splitting corruptions be advantageous?
Edit: we will be able to have 8 x masterful3s giving us 96% more mastery.
I don’t do a lot of pve but when I do I cast a flash of light on someone usually the tanks when there’s no damage buttons to press
Great post!!! Were you talking about my build? Should I get one or two inedible truths today and wait for mastery 3?
yours was consistent with icyveins theorycrafting. i’d get at least 1 of the r1 ineffiable truths today

Thank you I’ll grab a couple of them. Does it matter what piece I corrupt with ineffible truths?
Thanks!
Bro no offense but that’s a bunch of nonsense lol.
its not like gushing, no dps incrdease on higher ilevel items. none of stat ones get better with ilevel either. so it’s a lot more flexible than gushing
