JC, glyphs and enchanting are my biggest 3 money makers. Even though you'll make more profit by gathering mats yourself I just don't have time/patience to do that. So I buy all the raw mats from AH and convert them.

Just a "fun" fact, Paragon used 3 dps DKs on their 25 HC Lich King kill, 1 UH and 2 Frost according to MMO champion.

I have tryed to get my gear as close to Landsoul's exeptional spreadsheet as much as i can and I did some calculations for my own including The Lich King 25 normal mode drops and and ICC10HC, my results were that you would replace t10legs with Legplates of Painful Death, and replace Gatecrasher Gauntlets with t10.
I did this to see if it would be better with heroic Ramaladni's Blade of Culling and Glorenzelg, High-Blade of the Silver Hand instead of Shadow's Edge and Cryptmaker.
I don't feel like posting my n00by calculations since they would embarras me if I'm wrong

I would like some pros opinions in this or am I just twisting my head with bull*rap

In this calculation i used Woodin's Lucky Necklace instead of the neck from BQ Lana'Thel.

I'll probably be using this macro for shocks

/castsequence reset=target Flame Shock, Earth Shock

Sure it will be a minor dps loss on things that die in less then 10-12 seconds but I really don't care about my dps on things that die that quickly anyway.

As for reactive priorities and their issues with the various sims, Team Robot has the right idea but doesn't seem to have it fully fleshed out yet and EnhSim just mashes Latency and Reaction time together currently. I have an open ticket for how to incorporate it "properly" but as I can't code there really is nothing I can do further about it until one of our coders (or anyone that knows how to code C++) picks up the gauntlet and makes a go at incorporating my suggested changes.

EnhSim - View Issue #6109: Latency and Reaction Time

..just wanted to know if you have tried this macro in raid and what were the results in dps...seems a very usefull macro as it makes things a lot easier in the rotation. Also i did various test on the target dummy and it seems that the es/ avalanche totem still comes out with better dps than the fs/es and bizuri totem combination...is it because bizuri performs better only with the full raid buffs?

Anyone did any testing of trinkets, because i'm not sure wich would be BiS for frost, would think DBW would be 1 of the BiS but i realy can't tell the other.
Anyone able to help out or recomend any pages where i can see it ?

Quick question for anyone that has played with Combat gearsets: is the ArPen harcap reachable for rogues?

Waveryn · 03/27/10, 9:22 AM

T10 Hit rating, what would you do?
I finally equipped my 4 piece T10 did not seem worthwhile to loose T9 bonus until I had 4 pieces, but now with my gear I am 82 hit shy of Cap, and searched all crafted and emblems besides frost (used them all) for a way to make it up.
Best solution I can find is take my dying curse out of the bank and add 20 hit gem to belt until some hit upgrades drop or I can buy the frost cloth belt with hit.
Torn on which trinket also to replace with dying curse downgrade, your thoughts or something I may have missed gear wise appreciated.

[Death's Verdict]/[Death's Choice] would most likely be the other BiS trinket.

Btw, in the first post, in the professions section, you should update the engineering buffs: the cloak and boots "enchants" are missing.

Hello, I use the thread as a guild often, but its hasn't been updated to address the latest patch changes.

Thanks

So apparently its better to edit this because I asked a quick question on my hit rating issue. I was told to search, and which I did before hand, and there were 372 posts that included the word hit at least once. Now that's real helpful isn't it? And I guess that was hand holding?

soulrasor · 03/27/10, 1:26 PM

Wanting to know how much a dps loss on average is it if i switch to shadows edge over bytroll
wanting to use bytroll for my tank spec ..

or would it be better for me to go back to blood sup spec with it ...or use shadow's edge to tank with ??

After I got rid of my t9 shoulders(upgraded to t10) I lost a lot of hit and put me too low.

So the question is, where should I go, or what should I do to get 33 more hit? I've done the best research I possibly can, and could only get maybe 20 more hit(enchants) without gemming for hit.

You are not under hit cap, just get draenei in same grp and you are fine

Hey guys, I was checking Rawr and for normal items it shows that the boots [Footpads of Impending Death] are the best, and [Blood-Soaked Saronite Stompers] are better then [Frostbitten Fur Boots] before heroics, is that right or am I missing something here?
