Spread the word, I wanna try to crash the server I'm on! lol
Yes, these truly are awesome. Thanks again for putting them together and hosting them! It's crazy, but going into one of those on full-screen is almost as good as seeing that section in-game!
macro a few nights last week, and it takes getting used to. For instance, I unconsciously spam the SB button while a cast is already in progress, and end up cancelling the spellcast that is already in progress and ended up losing DPS. Get used to the macro first, otherwise you'll find yourself mashing your nuke button during the "burn" stage of a fight and realizing you're not casting anything.
I did that too with my arcane blast a couple runs ago. I lied in vent, and said I zoned out tired. They would have made fun of me for months if they found out I didn't change my action bar from Target Dummy Bar to Real Deal bar. Sigh. Took about 20 seconds for me to go "wtf?", and about another 5 before I realized what was going on.
Fingers crossed the mana regen in 3.1 will make this viable. You can do as much theorycraft as you like, it didn't stop me going omm in naxx last night ^^
You should use a 3 finisher cycle (although 5/5 isn't far behind x/5/5), Double Wound, SS, Rupture and SnD Glyphs are correct.
Also on PTR you should see better results with Combat due to Improved Poisons being bugged.
As for mutilate being out damaged by combat in the 0.4.7 sheet, I can't really comment without seeing your gear.
But it shouldn't happen, at least with dual LPC.
Are you sure you changed the finishers and combo builder when changing specs?
SnD and Eviscerate most likely.
Yes, changed to SS and Evic.
I found another combat rogue and his #s are fine (he had 347 hit, I have 165) 75% of my melee hits are being recorded as crushing and melee is accounting for no more than 5% of my damage, whereas in the exact same gear with Mut/Omen/LPC, I get 43% melee and 24% crushing.
I miss about 27% of the time in both specs.
Is this simply a hit issue with combat? Do I need to be in the 300s to make any use of combat at all?
Edit: My combat spec is my "secondary" spec, so while I realize I am probably n00bing this all up, if I found a dual-spec bug or something, I'd like to report it. Hence your help is immeasurably useful
Edit: An updated recount is showing 67% glancing blows, 27% miss in combat swords, but only 20% glancing blows in mutilate.
So, i have been thinking, i am a mac user, and i do not have microsoft excel on my computer, and i am not going to buy it just for this spreadsheet, so i was wondering, is there anyway that you could put the Open Office version back up, or did u plan on it?
idk, there is an excell-like program on mac's, but maybe i do not know how to use it, if that is the case, could anyone please help me out.
That's not really a good gear setup. well, it's good, but it's not the best. The best would land you just above 13% hit, with the following stats:
Spell
Damage
2177
Critical
14.16
Hit
344
Haste
17.66
Which does differ a bit from the input stats. I'm not using any of the t7 since the bonus is too weak to cover for the loss in stats imo. 4t7 is just awful.
Due to a higher percentage of combats damage being made up of white damage, combat is alot more +hit reliant than mutilate.
165 hit wont be fun, especially in combat.
Edit: Oops just saw the I r noob comment, sry
LOL. Once I fixed my 350 sword skill (sigh, no combat since wrath), I am getting 250 dps more with combat, and my swords are not even enchanted, using WP/DP on my swords. Of course we have to wait for the glyphs and Imp Poi fix.
it's weird but last 2 naxx runs I've found myself missing spells and dots getting partial resists while I'm hitcapped, 11,5% from gear + 2%taletns +1% draenei aura +3% from misery. Another wlock had the same issue even beeing 1% over hitcap.
Yeah, well, before i asked, i had read the FAQ and Unholy DPS discussion entirely and they give different numeric values for stats.. The answer is far from being "found with a reasonable effort".
The standard he is using (unless it has been updated for 3.1 T8 or something, but the run details say it has not) specify 2k spell power from gear alone. Yours is unlikely to be too much more than that. If you are Twilight Vanquisher Copola on Norganon you are at 2049.
i was referring to on the PTR with fel armor, food buff, flask and Demonic knowledge. I can hit about 2970 in that
if he is popping consumables and raid buffs tho and not counting the SP from that, then ya it will be a while before 40/31 surpasses 41/30
The simulation takes into account all self-buffs, talents, and raid buffs. 40/31 catches up to 41/30 when you reach 3k spell power *from gear*.
Would it be possible for you to redo the sim assuming 3k spell power? I think a lot of high end Warlocks are bordering that much spell power / will definitely have it with Ulduar gear.

i dont know any locks that have 3k SP right now or near that from gear alone. But yes, I'd be interested in seeing it as well.

Ok I have been reading your forums for a while now and I am a newly made DK and have some epic's but not alot, and I currently am spec'd at the 51-13-7 build and my rotation is IT-PS-HS-HS-OB-DC (Sometimes2)-OB-HSx4 then a runic dump and I do about 2k dps using Recount, now I use the Skull-Clad cleaver and all the Heroism gear I could use except for the Heroe's Scourgebourn plate chest and some various epic's from Heroic Dungeons and I was just curious if that DPS is good enough with the gear I have or should it be higher than that atm any help would be great!
Havent gotten to spend much time on the ptr due to real life stuff. I am very curious due to all the recent changes to affliction, what spec is comming out on top at the moment? I have tested 0-41-30 vriation and I still find affliction beating it.
I like to think I helped supply the TnT that made catching that elusive crab possible, although he was only in the net for an instant before he broke the line and went on his merry way.

Since this is the SimulationCraft thread, you might want to read what SimulationCraft simulations are saying.
