hello,
For my first post here, i'll copy-paste something i posted elsewehere

trying to get some answers by math, etc. If you can help

(sorry for my bad english

)

warning, long.

First, I'm enjoying 40/0/21 spec a lot for some months, and try to convince everyone on EU server that this spec owns

I've clean Hyjal/BT, and have decent gear, i hope. (pvp stuff on armory, so linking here: 2 pcT5, 2pcT6, 1200 dmg, 30% crit, hit-capped, ~350 MP5 while casting)

In fact, this morning, i was wondering something. Maybe you already did some math, so you can answer^^

I wonder if leaving 2pc T5 would be good, in SW level. While doing this, we use less mana, then we can change some slot/gems/pots

I try to explain:
Without 2pc T5 (and then, using less mana), """maybe"""

1) the 2 pieces T5 can be switch with very better gear
2) you dont have to use Frostbolt at any time. Then, you can put only 75 hit rating (not 126 anymore) giving you more dmg/crit/haste.
3) you can use destroc pots/flask, to replace mana pots/adept+draenic
4) you can stuff with haste (lot of stuff with haste @SW level)
5) you can use Molten armor

- Do you think you can fill the +20% dmg gap with the points above?
- Do you think you can fights during 6min without magearmor/draenic/frostbolt regen ?

mana cost with 2pc T5: 760
mana cost w/o 2pc T5: 633

> 127 mana per cast "gained"

After 2 min (pots cooldown), you cast 80 AB, that means 80*127 => 10'160 mana

Without 2pc T5, you spare ~10k mana. So, you dont need mana pots and/or molten armor

If you cleared BT/MH and didnt kill any SW boss:
For normal fights in which you CAN spam AB 100% time, using manapots/mana drums/resto shaman, here is what you have w/o 2pT5 to "try" to beat 2pT5 DPS:

*50 hit rating changed into dmg/crit/haste
*elem chaman (3% crit)
*2 slot with better stats
*destro pots
*drum of battle
*molten armor (3% crit)
*flask of supreme power

For long fight in which you CANNOT spam AB 100% time, using manapots/mana drums/resto shaman/frostbolts, you can add to the list:

*no frostbolt cast

If you have access to SW gear, you can add:

*haste gear

And dont forget, even if you dont use 2pT5, you have them in your inventory, and you can use them for really really short fight. Then you'll have compilation:
*50 hit rating changed into dmg/crit/haste
*elem chaman (3% crit)
*destro pots
*drum of battle
*molten armor (3% crit)
*flask of supreme power
*haste gear
*no frostbolt cast
*2pT5
