Toroto 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2017 Hello, I heard somehwere that the SM/Ruin build scales very well with gear and later progression whereas DS/Ruin is your go to build for early raids and dungeons. Is this correct? Or is the difference in damage so minimal that it doesn't matter? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Suprfli6 3 Report post Posted February 7, 2017 It's minimal. SM/Ruin has slightly lower dps when it comes to spamming shadowbolts but is better at PvP and dungeons. Each has its own perks for farming (I prefer DS for Mara farm). 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larsen 3 Report post Posted February 8, 2017 Doesn't matter very much in dungeons, but I'd take the +42 stamina group buff over +5% shadow damage any day of the week. Half the time you can't even do full DPS in pugs because the tank can't hold aggro. I prefer SM/Ruin for raids as well until AQ40 and Naxx, and you'll still want at least one in the raid even then. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Health regen from a sacced VW makes princess very smooth. I've already farmed the gold for my epic mount and then some on Elysium and my only deaths have been a result of severe lag. DS is still good for other types of farming too but SM may be a bit better, tough to say. I'll be going back to SM now though since I prefer it for PvP and 5mans. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I figured that was the reason. But you never know, why i was curious. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
