Hey man. I was going to try out the Darkglare build, but I was faced with a simming "problem" (the best example is at 8:53). Darkglare sims 20% more in AOE (for me) but the rotation seems to change. It appears to boil down to these lines of the SimC Apl malefic_rapture,if=buff.umbrafire_kindling.up&(pet.darkglare.active|!talent.doom_blossom) siphon_life,target_if=remains
After playing around with the APL for a while and simming I got some conclusions. Turns out the gains of casting Rapture instead of Seed are minimal compared to the hassle and extra complexity and margin of error. In a 3target scenario ~1minute duration 472k vs 493k, it simmed about a 21k dps gain by changing the rotation It's feasible to maintain siphon on 3 targets without much pain before entering the Darkglare + Rapture phase. In a 5target scenario ~1minute duration 803k vs 786k, about 17k dps gain by changing the rotation I'm not sure i can be bothered to put siphon on 5 targets before starting to play the game for such a measly gain. In a 5target scenario ~3minute duration 599k vs 593k, about 6k gain by changing the rotation There's absolutely no way im doing this shit (This should have been a scenario where we don't get a second Darkglare but w/e, not changing the rotation should win or be equal during a 1m30s-2m fight) In conclusion, it should pay off to change the rotation if the number of targets is less or equal to 3 and the fight is short inbetween 30s-60s (it's still easier to mess this up rather than just going seed spam) Any scenario with more than 3 targets I'll just stick to throwing seeds. A 2second window to catch the agony on all targets with the Vile Taint cast seems rather low anyway
Appreciate the effort you put in on that. That sounds about right from my experience in keys. I will maintain SL on 3 targets max & rapture those. 4+ is where I think it gets a bit confusing like I said in the guide. It may be better to maintain SL on all 4-5 and rapture but like you mentioned the time to set this up and get the full value out of it even in fort weeks or higher keys in my opinion is potentially not worth it at all. However if you are comfortable with doing that all the time and see the value in it by all means go for it. Like you've talked about here tho the gains for that playstyle over simply maintaining normal dots and using seeds is not far off and when you are also watching mechanics, kicks, stops, surviving, dodging every circle on the ground. One is significantly easier than the other. With all of that said aswell I have been running Dread Touch in a few keys this week & can say that the aoe doesn't feel as bad as I thought even when doing seeds (I think because of harvest) but utilizing a bit more SL & raptures would definitely help in the smaller pulls aswell.
Hello, why not wrath of consumption? It's got like 70% uptime on all dots over a dungeon which for me is about a 5% dmg increase overall (dots are about 1/3 of all my dmg), compared to dark glare which is always about 500k per fight, per 2 minutes. Thoughts? Thanks :)
I've run wrath before, definitely suggested it in the guide but for me I think it's a bit awkward to get great value from in some keys. If you can make it work I think it can definitely be strong. May try it again at some point in a few keys.
Dude, from a healer's perspective you are doing sooo gooood. I would love to do keys with you. You are NA though, and i'm EU. You are aware and skilled. Love your vids, GG, man.
that 3rd boss dropping dots during every transition is absolutely troll
Indeed

I appreciate you digging into the APL on that, the sims for Glare were super confusing to me relative to what you would expect for aoe siming
