Best Mythic+ talents for the button
SimulationCraft has no profile for this spec, so these figures use the median gear of real +15 players, raised to SimulationCraft's item level (338.6), with a top Mythic+ player's build on murlok.io (only 5 timed +15 runs on Warcraft Logs, all with different builds) in M+, and the most common build of top Heroic Sszorak players on Warcraft Logs (15 of 58 on this hero talent) on the raid boss. Blizzard's list casts far fewer Disintegrates and Living Flames than perfect play (in raid 12.9 Disintegrates a minute against 19.1). Assisted Highlight is just as low, so the cause is the game's own list, not the cooldowns SimulationCraft adds.
For one-button play in M+, import this build: +7.2% damage with SBA + cooldown over the real players' build.
Best of 9 builds tested with the button (the real players' and the top 10 Mythic+ players' on murlok.io, plus a talent search), 2026-11-07: a talent search for the button, one talent swap at a time from the best of those builds.

How it's measured, and its limits
- SBA + cooldown is a best case: the simulator never misplays. It is always better to sim your own character.
- Manual play is SimulationCraft's own rotation executed perfectly, so it is an upper bound for what a person can do, not a typical player.
- Assisted Highlight assumes every suggestion is seen and pressed at once, which is generous for a player reading the highlight.
- The M+ dungeon is SimulationCraft's own DungeonSlice fight style, its approximation of Mythic+ pulls, not a specific dungeon route.
- Best talents for the button: of SimulationCraft's build, the top 10 Mythic+ players' builds on murlok.io and a talent search for the button, the one that deals the most with SBA + cooldown in the M+ dungeon. Gear and rotation are unchanged.
- SimulationCraft ships no profile for some hero talents (9 here). Those use SimulationCraft's gear with a top player's build: a top Mythic+ player's build on murlok.io in M+, and on the raid boss the most played build in top raid kills on Warcraft Logs when there are any, otherwise SimulationCraft's raid talents with that Mythic+ build's hero talents (or the Mythic+ build itself where it deals more). No talent search for the button has been run for them yet.
- SimulationCraft ships no profile at all for Devastation Evoker and Balance Druid. Those use the median gear of real +15 players, raised to the item level of SimulationCraft's profiles, with the build most real players use (or a top player's build where too few play that hero talent), and a talent search for the button.
