The Enigma Order

Hey Rizzla, if I look at sims on single and multi target damage for arc I find the gap between rune and IF is just 2% in single target and 1% on multi target.  Certainly a lot closer than they used to be in 7.1.  Given that assumes perfect usage, which isn't practically possible given the hectic nature of most NH fights with movement requirements and ground AOE.  Hence I think a lot of fights would be best handled with IF.  What do you think?

Here are my thoughts on spec in NH.  I know for you MI is a good ST alternative for fire and you ran that on at least Elisande and Guldan, likely for the reasons given below.  But for arc IF is a little ahead.

Skorpiron – IF – need to constantly adjust positioning to maximise AOE on all targets
Chromatic Anomoly – IF – Lots of movement from ground AOE, to spawning adds and for running out with timebomb
Trilliax – IF – Lots of movement from ground AOE, and handling mechanics
Spellblade Aluriel – IF – movement if debuffed, movement to adds, movement from bombs in arc phase.
Star Auger Etraeus – Rune – Low movement fight, except where debuffed and that is brief, so perfect rune usage is possible
High Botanist tellarn – IF - High movement fight to / from adds, chasing around bosses for AOE, to Orbs, etc
Krosus – Rune – Low movement fight, an occational and predictable sidestep + soaking at specific times.  Easy to find 10s of uninterrupted movement
Elisande – IF – Crazy movement fight, to adds, chasing boss around the room, from orbs, soaking ground AEO and orbs, etc, etc
Guldan – IF _ I did this with rune yesterday, but a lot of movement moving to soak people, moving to best AoE eyes, moving to be near bosses, but not tanks, fear the wrath of Lamme.  Also P3 looks even more movement heavy, dropping fire, soaking ghosts, running from AoE, repositioning to avoid hugging people when eye is up.

Also I think I'll go IF for all M+ in future too.  Typically I can't use rune on CD through all trash, since it needs to be available for boss pulls, so that alone, aside from imperfect use where you have to move from ground AOE means it's suboptimal since the patch.
