Some classes are better than others because of how their mechanics work. Sure there is a delay in rotation, but with DK you’re waiting on runes to cycle and stack for best usage and it ends up working out pretty well. BM hunter is a other winner and so is Destruction lock.
Usually I get my sequences to 90-95% of sim but if SBA is close to that then I may be wasting time for DK.
so couple of things
everytime i SBA its terrible– im doing 31k on St dummy– and 50kish on aoe dummies for UHDK
have you added someline to a sba macro?
also in reference to @kolskeggrson alot of the UHDK damage is form pets, so perhaps thats why orb isnt seeing the dps loss?
orb
also
when is GSE 3.3 going to be avail for live? pre patch is 1/20/26
also that talent tree looks to be for live
In Beta I’m getting with what I posted for SBA about 50k ST sustained and 90-100k sustained AoE. Burst shoots much higher then falls back down.
ok– it seems for saynlan the results are poor and not close to what horseman can do – for SBA horseman is the play.
However beta logs place sanlayn as tops for UHDK
Sometimes it’s not about a few percent, it’s about ease of use and comfort while playing. I’m older and have a hard time hitting a lot of keys so I try to do the best I can with the best spec that’s closest to top performance but also simplicity.
I still get Rival II or better each season and I do the Delve ?? Boss, with some heroic raiding. I’m going to start this expansion with death knight and then maybe I’ll look at paladin and warrior for some other content. Unholy in beta is extremely fun and frost seems like it slaps pretty hard too.
sounds great, as i usually main ret as well. This season i was on My DH and I am looking at DK or warrior this go around. I do mplus as well as progressive raiding using mainly your GSE sequences. If you can find a way to make the a GSE better than sba that would be even better!
Damn i must say, Unholy was like BM hunter But fun. did Really enjoy this spec and SBA was kinda smooth even with Bad gear 602 item lvl.
Felt a bit slow when Minions was on CD
In Beta it feels extremely good. I’m liking it a lot. Lots of streamlining.
Hi,
im just curious. The Blizzard built in SBA is doing 93-95% of simmed dps?? Thats quite insane right?
Also i was wondering how big the effort would be to figure out a good macro to just handle FS, SS and DC in a proper way? I would Like Like to use everything else manually.
Could some share the proper Logic for that?
If have to see how things interact with the skill revamp, but it’s possible.
uhdk has been redesigned to play like BM hunter
this means that most of the heavy lifting now comes from pets as opposed to the player.
this is why specs like spriest demolocks and BM hunters can use sba well as their damage isn’t coming from button clicks, rather it’s coming from pets or dots doing automated damage.
now for me at least, my uhdk on live, while only 696 sims at 2.9.million
and he’s doing 1.8 to 2.1
in beta though, where the new pet mechamics take center stage I’m doing 75k st, which is about 30k more at than all the specs I’ve been testing using sba
not sure what that means in sims tho lol
sorry not the right place to ask but im a patron and i have no idea where to get beta gse
In the discord you have to go down to the patreon add-on section and scroll to the most recent one that has Midnight in the build and scroll to the most recent one that has Midnight in the build
This topic is closed til the 20th, when everyone can enjoy it and Mid GSE is released.
ok orb it’s your show let’s go!
hopefully you got a gem that doesnt rely on sba
one of the main reasons I don’t like sba for uhdk is that in 12.0
the 2 main CDs are now included
army of the dead and dark x form
I’d like to have control of those
Yeah, I fully understand that and it may be the only reason I spend a lot of time on this going forward. I’ll need a week or so to acclimate to no add-ons and all that stuff and how I’m going to do my testing without the addons I usually use.
The version I posted should work fairly well but I do need to smooth it out some more and I’ve just been swamped with everything.
I’ve been using it as a template for all classes in beta
for uhdk
I put in a cast sequence for army and dark form on Ctrl modifier
and death strike on alt
icy viens and wowhead also updated their rec builds last night for pre patch
Awesome okay, I’ll look at this later this week. I have a lot going on so I’m not going to be able to dive into the macros a lot for a couple days.
