Ah perfect - thanks for the input. That’s exactly how I like it.
It really feels very solid, I am very often on the upper und of the DPS meter while feeling very safe in most situations.
I am coming back when I hit HC/M+ phase and give another feedback. But for all DH Tanks that want an ez pz time tanking use this macro. Highly recommended.
I have used your build and must say I love it, definitely the most tanky one… BUT i feel like aoe damage is lower than the other but surviveability is definitely TOP notch compared to them.
What I would love to see is what the rotation is based on when it come to MS.
Additionally I wonder if you are able to make the build based on the Aldrachi Reaver build?
I have tried to tweak yours alittle and must say i went from 500k dps to 700k+ at AOE target dummies. But surviveability i dont know xD must test in M+
But I think you know the logic behind your rotation better and maybe find how to maximise this build based on Echo guide on maxroll (Aldrachi Reaver)?
I main VDH. Currently ilvl 600. Sim’d my current gear and enchantments at around 325k-350k on a test dummy with no buffs or potions.
Your macro peaks at about 375 for a short burst but then settles at 283k-285k. The sustain is quite amazing as my health never drops below 70% in testing. I also like that the throw glaive is always going so that aggro isn’t always ripped from me in larger pulls.
I feel with a little bit of work this could easily be my all time favorite macro.
I will be running this macro tonight in m0’s and I will update my post to show how well it runs.
I used the Aldrachi Build on Echos guide. This one they are saying is more self absorb and heals etc. and for High Mythic keys. It worked pretty nicely, but as I mentioned earlier needs alot of tuning because I am new to this tried to rebuild abit on existing code.
So Ive tested this macro across all forms of content. I have also tried both Fel-Scared and Reaver.
Either hero talent tree provides really nice sustain and aggro. There isn’t really any issues with fury generation or survivability in M0s, Rank 8 Delves, and Normal Raid.
However-
After considerable testing across all forms of content I have found that it lacks a serious degree of damage. After logging my raid tonight I noticed that I parsed drastically lower than the other tank with roughly 130k difference.
At the time of the raid I was ilvl 604 with no set pieces, and not the most ideal trinkets. So these are things to take into account for sure.
I think to properly optimize this macro it would need to have a build for each hero tree.
Below is a 6.25 minute fight against Heroic Ulgrax.
