Those 3 talents are bad or useless:
Idol of Yogg-Saron / Idol of N’Zoth / Idol of Y’Shaarj
They really need to get buff (Idol of Yogg-Saron / Idol of N’Zoth) they do less than 2% on a long run , Idol of Y’Shaarj you do less dps if u take that one.
Fell really bad when top points you can get do nothing.
These numbers are coming from #1 shadow on first boss mythic
Yogg is almost doing 6.18% of total damage which is pretty huge and is actually more than the one you didn’t mention C’thun which is only 4.38%
With N’zoth you need to remember it generates a good bit of insanity as well for more DP’s, as for damage, it’s 4.16% only slightly behind C’thun. And there seems to currently be a bug with it, as I’ve seen it hit for as little as 46 damage
Y’shaarj actually makes the rotation considerably faster, but I do agree that the drawback is probably a bit too big, and it wont work in archon at all, as the haste is too precious
With the way shadow is currently designed, either hero talents got 1 big ability, 1 medium and the rest is small, and the fact that the 3 damaging idols is number 5, 7 and 9 is actually pretty good considering how many small sources of damage we have competing for 4th and down
Once you got the right gear, they will start to increase in value for you
Idol of N’zoth cleaves with psychic link and generates insanity. Looking at the % in the breakdown isn’t helpful at all.
I will check but i think those talent must be boosted in some way, in every other class the top talent has a huge role to play. I hope for a patch on that shadow priest is still bad good luck finding a M+ 10 key with a shadow priest in it.
That’s why I used a single target fight
They do have a big role, with insanity generation
Shadow is just extremely stat dependant, so running the wrong stats will be bad for us
Yeah, your analysis was good. Theirs less so.
