I've tried to check it through the spreadsheet, but there is no option to change poisons I believe.
Deadly MH
Instant OH


As deadly procs now proc other weapon, once you hit 5 stack DP, there is no difference really as to which poison procs, as they are both "Instant".

On 1.4 weapons Deadly has a higher proc chance, so this is the one you want to be using for all your instant attacks, therefore will go onto MH so you can get your 5 DP stack up sooner, and from there it acts as Instant.

I refer you to 3.3_rogue_faq where Aldrianna states:

A: Yes. DP goes on the fast weapon, whichever hand it's in. If both weapons are the same speed, DP goes on the MH.

There are talents that affect how much agility you gain from gear, and how much attack power, but these will not scale you to 200%.

I know a lot of you are very knowledgeable and would know more than i. I don't want to waste my tanking spec or change my talents every time i have to DPS. PLEASE HELP.
You can choose to either be a tank or a dps, a dps/tank spec will work as far as Random HC goes, but for endgame content you will be mediocre at both.
And since you want both 2h and DW you will need to waste alot of talentpoints. Aka dont do it..

The solution spells "Dual spec" and is the key to do both. If you pvp and want a spec for that, well then just dps in you pvp spec you will still do more dps than in a tank-able spec.

If you dont do endgame, well then just do a dps spec and use tankingear in frost pres. I usually run heroics in dps spec/gear if i have a healer i can trust

ZG has been the best time to return instance for me for a long time due to all of the above plus Bijous.
Auctioning off cloth isnt a problems but low level DE mats dont really sell on my realm. The bijous however probably will. Are you clearing all the trash and bosses inside? if so do you have any tips for a new hunter to soloing this instance?
Thank you.

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

is what I'm currently running. Basically swapped out the utility talents in unholy for threat/avoidance in frost and got rid of some crit modifiers for my physical attacks. Snap aggro is insane and you retain the benefit of Heart Strike as both cleave and damage output. Using the DnD glyph because it plays into both the 2p t10 bonus and Black Ice and I don't really see how any 3rd glyph would help anything in our current situation where threat is based on RS and IT.

I want to make a request that you describe in youre post when CoE is needed in a raid and how it works. Im seeing far to many warlocks on my server thinking spell resistance helps them get lesser chance to miss on bosses and just direct me to youre forums saying EJ says so. It seems like they are very confused little warlocks that could need clarification on how it works.

This issue has been mentioned in the rawr dpsdk thread Rawr DPSDK version 2.3.6 released 1/18/10.
Seems the weapon is overrated in the latest build.

I have been useing it for a few days now and even on BPC and Prof im no lower then 7.8k. It's just a matter of we have seen the rupture game before, we are all familiar with it and how to maximize it, we just have to dust off that set of skills and get away from 2 button spam. Sometimes the game just requires we actually...ya know...play it.

As for static fights - im about 10 dps below our top rogue now, who out gears me significantly as a combat rogue, and no this isnt an instance of hes bad im not, because he is a good player and knows rogue well - but my rupture cycle in subpar gear is keeping up with his Arpn capped Evis-a-spam gear.


Edit:

Also - i beat him on BPC. Evis vs Rupture. If anyone wanted to know.

Hi guys, I don't speak english very well so I will try to write my best. I'm trying to read your theorycrafting discussions but i don' t understand so much. I have a simple question and I hope that someone can help me to solve it. These are my stats (only MotW up):

cat AP: 9825
hit: 390 (only by gear, I have no gems and I'm trying to lower it)
arp: 695 + 665 Mjolnir's proc and Hearty Rhyno food to reach the cap
crit: 59,05%
expertise: 21 (trying to raise it)
haste: 448 + 340 for 12 sec. Hyperspeed Accelerators enchant on gloves

I put on my gear only arp, agility and agi/haste gems. Have I to lower haste and raise critical chance? Is there something that I can do to make better, maybe simply changing my sockets?
Thanks to everybody.

Engineering > Tailoring?

so i have been confused, i have actually seen some top locks from end game raiding guilds drop tailoring(lightweave embroidery) and picking up engineering (27sp to cloak, hyperspeed on gloves, crit+speed on boots)

i was just wondering the warlocks den's opinion on this...

Does Engineering outweigh Tailoring?

Thanks for all the suggestions guys I will put some of those into practice this reset. I've been wondering about the rapid rejuv glyph and I am tempted to swap it out for the swiftmend one. I love the idea of shielding but unfortunately our priest doesn't always come to our raids. If he is there this reset I will suggest that Thanks again, everyone is so helpful here! Love it!

Just how bad is the Heartpierce dagger for enhance? I'm using black bruise as my main hand, but what will be the impact on my DPS by using an offhand with a 1.80 speed? Is there any point in going enhance at all with it?

In general: take less damage from Infest
Phase 1: Fury can't whirlwind as much because you don't want ghoul aggro
Transition 1: only some spirit overlap -> perfect for Sweeping Strikes may get 2 in
Phase 2: Bladestorm on Valks stacks
Transition 2: only some spirit overlap -> perfect for Sweeping Strikes, can get 2 in
Phase 3: No cleave at all

Worst case scenario you lose some slam damage from moving a lot, but you could probably stick and move.
I have been thinking the same things and I have tried arms out. But my guild has only reached valk phase a few times so comparing damage from phase 1 arms will almost always win because fury cant ww much during that phase. Have you tried arms on any of your attempts? and if you have I would like to hear what kind of damage you saw. Looking at some parses on world of logs I couldn't find any arms warriors who were getting deep into the fight, but I also saw some warriors that were clearly cleaving ghouls in phase 1. In one of Exodus' parses Yalp was doing something ridiculous like 20k dps which surely means he would have had a lot of ghoul aggro breaking his power word shields and making him even harder to top off after infest. Going arms or staying fury would depend on how your guild handles ghouls tho because if you have your shambling horror tank start spam taunting them after necrotic kills the first horror then you would get a lot more whirlwinds in after that point. One more thing I was thinking to attempt to solve the passive aoe aggro problems warriors have is if you have a prot pally on the boss then when ghouls spawn you can go all out with cleaves and ww to get max aggro then the pally can use their 3 mob taunt to get those 3 ghouls on him and after that you should be able to whichwind on cooldown. Just a theory, I haven't tested it, but you would need to time it so your disc priest is giving you a pw: shield almost at the last second before infest so you don't get it when you are aggroing the new ghoul spawns.

Thanks to everybody.
