I wanted to ask the community what their thoughts were on this topic. As most of us were previously playing, SS was by far the best thing to use for a while but after experiencing the increased CD on SS and suffering many deaths to it I was curious what others feel.
I suppose to an extent it's a personal play style preference right now as builds are being tested and there aren't any definite answers just yet. I personally have been farming ancient gear on T6 using vault and have become accustomed to it and find it very useful but that doesn't solve the issue with survival at higher rifts.
I think SS has been rather nerfed and it seems Blizzard has rather taken away the perma SS with the change of the discipline passive to hatred instead. Again, what's everyone's take on this?
As a HC player, I have both on my panel as sometimes Vault by itself is not enough to escape the tight spot (relatively) unharmed.
Granted, this worked much better back before patch as I had extra 23 discipline to spend - my ancient gear has not the best possible rolls in this regard and I went down from 73 to just 50.
I'm too much used to SS/Healing Vapors, but i'm very likely going to change to Vault because of the additional mobility - Maelstrom and the buff to LoH grant decent healing so i think i won't be anymore depending on it.
Interesting comments guys. Thanks for you're input. As I said I was curious how others felt and it seems that both are viable options and it's really more of a personal choice however I will be giving SS-Vapors a try and maybe SP-Shadow. Thank you everyone for your posts.
BTW, I'd like to see some more opinions and experience posted here. Feel free to leave a comment and maybe people who are unsure can benefit from other's experience. God bless
