Whispers of the Damned SPriest 8.1

Hello! After the 8.1 patch in the simulator it seems that whispers of the damned has jumped fantastically higher in DPS for Shadow Priests. In the best in bags optimizer it says choosing everything with that trait, including excluding any Uldir gear, nets me a 33% increase. This has me pretty skeptical, so I waited until another update came out for AMR and it still says the same. I ran raidbots just to sanity check and it says my current gear is still best. So I am not sure if it is a bug or what so here I am posting to the forums just to sanity check.

Here is my output from the addon.

As well as a picture just to show the increase it proposes.

The origination array for full amount of 750 is enabled as well.

We’re re-ranking that azerite trait and will have an update sometime today – yeah it’s not really a 30% damage increase :wink: Would be cool if it was though, RIGHT?

Yeah it was a typo, used the wrong item budget function.

I knew this was too good to be true. :frowning:

Thanks for the response! Yeah, I figuyred it was too good to be true :stuck_out_tongue:

This should be fixed now – you might need to re-import (or change any setting, re-optimize, and change it back) to clear out your cached results and get a new optimization.
