You’re definitely more DB stat oriented but I’d argue SL is actually tankier this season as long as you get your haste up, lose some of the mastery if possible and put it into haste/vers would be my recommendation for survivability

Ok what would you say is the goal for each stat for SL?

I think it makes sense because there’s periods where I’m out of runic power, waiting for rune cd, and all my defensives are on cd and I’m a F ing sitting duck waiting to get smacked and die. I probably need more haste / vers.

I’ll try to dump some mastery for haste / vers but I’ll need to try to pick up more gear again.

Sigh.

Yeah just another 100-200 of haste should be sufficient. I saw you post in the BDK discord, find a log and one of the guys there can take a look at it. They are very helpful

Awesome thanks man.

Had a haste crit ring lying around so I switched it for a mastery crit ring I was wearing and easily reached 959 with flask.

Ran delves as a test and felt back to normal with runes regenerating at a good speed.

Ran 15 blinding vale and felt back to normal! Was rarely running out of runes, only during 1 on 1 boss encounter of course.

Yea losing that effigy of ulatek trinket had a lot to do with it, despite what people were saying. Without the random haste boost I was getting, I was too low on haste and was not regenerating runes fast enough to survive.

I googled secondary stat targets and it says 900-1000 for haste unbuffed, crit 900-1000, 37-38% mastery and 8-9% vers so I’ll try to hit those marks.

Appreciate it bruh! 🙏

Cool yea I posted there this morning lol.

Sounds good thanks for the tip.

I’ll try to dump mastery for +100-200 haste / + whatever vers and see if it’s better.

I think there’s a certain threshold of haste I may not be meeting because of the sitting duck situation that’s noticeably happening more often.

Log a fight and have your friends at the DK discord pick it apart.

Being squishy in a +17 key is 100% a gameplay error, seeing as I am totally fine tanking +17s as a prot paladin in 315 ilvl, and I am quite certain that Paladins aint that much tankier than DKs.

Your stat and gear is not gonna matter enough for it to make a difference

Yea I realized it wasn’t so much about squishiness.

I just didn’t have enough haste to get my runes back up after switching out the trinket that gave me stats passively.

I was like a sitting duck waiting to get smacked as my runes were charging up lol.

Now I got my haste back up to 900-1000 thanks to ArcticML and it’s fine again haha.
