Glyph of Destruction vs. Intensity of the Resolute

    I'm wondering which of these is more powerful for an all-out 30-second burn. And also, am I correct in thinking that they do not stack with each other in any way?

    Just wondering! Thanks y'all.

    They don't stack and I can't answer the other. I normally hit intensity first since it's free and no aas
  3. Tolzol Augur

    They don’t stack and for first question that’s entirely dependent on what class you play.
  4. Boyboi Elder

    I play a monk. Any idea on the answer for us?
  5. Tolzol Augur

    If you have a shaman in group hitting epic when you burn, intensity would likely be best for the 55% increased hit dmg modifier. Although i am not a monk so would be better if one of them chime in.

    assembled this for a guild forum kinda recently, maybe help on Intensity
    tl;dr - Intensity conflicts with Auspice which you hopefully get during burns, and is superceded by Infusion of Thunder.

    Group Bestial Alignment, Group Guardian of the Forest are not as strong, but provide most of its same benefit.

    So ideally you run it out when Auspices have all run out and having arranged separate durations for GBA/GGF

    It pairs well with non-Terrorpalm, non-Eye disciplines (Heel, Ironfist, Speedfocus), whichever isn't already getting to pair with Infusion of Thunder (Thunder is way better)

    Glyph of Destruction, for monks, only overlaps with Ruchu you get from Shm. Run Glyph (2 min duration) in the gap between Ruchu & the next Ruchu (that gap is 2 minutes ;) ). There's no conflict per se, but the overlap means no benefit to having both on.

    I don't believe this is true anymore.

    Thanks a lot guys, so I'm gathering that Intensity really isn't much of a boost (for monks at least). Crazy how much data digging y'all are capable of.
  11. Brohg Augur

    It is good, great even when other stuff isn't going on. Just when everyone around you is bringing all their stuff out too then it has to slot in right to do its thing
  12. Boyboi Elder

    Another question, on that Google docs of monk disc rotations, has anyone done parses on which one of those options ends up at the most DPS? I've been using something pretty similar to Option 1, curious how the other 2 pan out.
  13. Tanols Augur

    Another consideration is that there are times that Glyph of Dragon Scales is a superior benefit to Glyph of Destruction and since you can only use 1 at a time ....

    I'm curious which google doc (sheet?) you refer to.
  15. Sancus Augur

    Well, I'm dumb, it's the one Brohg linked.

    I'm not thrilled that got shared honestly; I only ever sent it to two people. In any event, I had literally never played a monk when I made the sheet, so I would take it with a massive heap of salt. It's worth playing around with a bit, but I wouldn't give a ton of credence to the options presented in it if you think there's something better. I guess I'll leave it shared if it helps, though.
  16. Tolzol Augur

    You never share spreadsheets with me :( hurts my soul tbh Sancus.
  17. Tanols Augur

    That's because you keep kickin his a$$ on dps ;)
  18. Tolzol Augur

    I don’t know what this dps is that you speak of sir lol
