    Patch 12.1 pushed Tempered Potion as the default combat pot for most specs. Before you buy 200 of the wrong thing:

    How to test

    1. Export your character on Sim Tools (addon profile is best).
    2. Run baseline with current pots.
    3. Override consumables in the sim input if needed — or swap pots in-game and re-export.
    4. Post both reports here with fight style noted (default Patchwerk ST).

    What to include

    • Spec, ilvl, key content (M+ vs raid)
    • Talent string if comparing builds
    • DPS / healing delta and error margin

    I'll update the Consumables pinned thread if we find a spec that still wants the old pot — so far most DPS sims favor Tempered for burst alignment.

    Don't trust my word — trust your sim. Then trust your mechanic execution more than either.

    Reminder: sims are stationary single target by default. If you're Ele Shaman cleaving entire dungeons, your real value won't show in Patchwerk. Use sims for trinket A vs B and stat weights, not for "should I play Ele in keys" — that's tier list + group comp territory.

    Tier Lists → 12.1 M+ DPS has our aggregated view if you want a starting point.
