Has someone observed it too? Or a tip what could cause it?

Yeah i had that bug 3 times in ICC 25 normal aswell! Its very strange and i cant explain why it happend but like you said Autoshots stops comming after 1 min or something and stay off until you get bitten.

My crictical strike chance is now 51.5% in berserker stance. And of course I am already 100% hard-capped in armor penetration. So is there a crictical strike cap after all as I have seen so many different Opinions in forums mainly the more critical strike the better , or is gemming for haste after reaching a certain crictical strike % better for DPS. I would Appreciate very much if all the pro fury warriors out here could give some good advice. Thank you very much.

I'd think Haste Str gems would only give more DPS once you're crit capped. To work out crit cap calculate how much your chance to miss is + glancing blow chance and any expertise effectiveness. Bare in mind this is only for white swings, but you'd be better off playing with a spreadsheet to locate when your Haste SEP overtakes Crit SEP and even then i think pure STR would trump Haste unless ofc theres an awesome socket bonus?

Thanks for the clarification.

Expanding on this
Looks like if you glyph molten amor in your offspec, cast it, then dual spec back to your primary spec you keep the glyph bonus. Unfortunately we don't have many good glyph options, but it frees a spot for mana gem or arcane power.

It survived a UI reload so I don’t believe it’s a UI error but can’t be sure without a lot of testing.

Is there a rule of thumb that comes with breaking socket bonuses now?

You will never be able to accurately answer the "when" question without running simcraft. After simcrafting your current stat weights you need to do the simple math of stats->DPS.

Its worth mentioning that gemming might also depend on your dual spec. Whether you are DP demo or replenishment destro apart from your affli spec playes a significant role in gemming.

I have a question about BiS gear, i've been sifting through the simcraft pages and the warlock thread and both are saying different things about what gear i should have. Is it more worthwhile to have crit/haste gear than spirit/haste in some situations like the neck piece and ring?

Also on another note, do you have to wait until you have 3 stacks of shadow embrace and haunt are up before you apply corruption since i've always been told the damage rolls the entire fight, so if i applied corruption when only 2 stacks were up or no haunt was up either does this mean my corruption will be rolling at less damage?

I'm new here please be nice

It would be great if somebody could provide profile links for BiS gear for say:

Pre LK Kill 25 man
During Heroic 25 mans
After LK kill 25 man HM

If you are still struggling it is clearly stated in the original post of every Holy Paladin Compendium thread exactly how much mp5 you gain per 100 intellect...

Nyrona · 04/23/10, 5:04 AM

I was looking for some decent unholy prot specc, but in fireside it's not really listend because of it's lack with good cooldowns for endgame tanking. I've watched a lot of dk's in the armory and still not found a more trash/boss with much adds (VD, LDW, LK, ...) optimized unholy specc.
Or can it be, that there is no decent subspecc with at least 1 cooldown from blood or unholy possible?

I just don't wanna play frost as a tank because of much more benefit from unholy and even of the fact, that we got a frost tank and a frost dps dk both with the 20% haste buff.

But i need definitely a specc for more aoe threat than a hardhitter bloodspecc can offer

This is my first post, please don't flame me for that.

First of all I noticed a few changes in the trinket and professions list.
So my first question is about herkuuml war token to be better than death's verdict normal version. Is the gain of haste better for both blood and frost subspecced or frost only? I got to know that haste well improves deseases.

Next thing I noticed that a lot DKs on my server specced engineering a few days ago. My main profession are jewelcrafting and blacksmithing due to the fact of better gems and getting capped.
So would engineering give me a hugher gain than blacksmithing, except survivabity? I guess the hand enchant would do nice for frost specced, but what's there for those with blood sub?

On the other hand I'm not definitely clear about the expertise, where I often get different opinions.
In the stats section I cann see that expertise is one of the last... So should I definitely be capped or spend my blacksmithing sockets with strength and don't bother about 2 points expertise missing?

No Glyph of Seal of Vengeance is why you're having threat issues, particularly since you have none from gear and just the 6 rating from Combat Expertise. Blade Ward is also doing very little for your threat output, but it's part of a bigger problem: your gemming and enchanting is a bit odd. I would recommend reading some of the guides at Maintankadin to sort it out.

As a further point: when you say your "rotation" is what you have posted, are you hitting something every cooldown, i.e. alternating 6 second cooldowns (SoR, HotR) with 9 second cooldowns (Consecration, Holy Shield, Judgement) indefinitely, or waiting for any skills to come off cooldown before using the next ability? The former is correct, the latter is a big TPS loss.

Guess someone was faster in asking that question - is the Herkuml War Token really better than Death's Choice? Well, I have at the moment Deathbringer's Will, Death's Verdict and Whispering Fanged Skull (non-hero Versions) - Deathbringer's Will seems to be alright where it is - but now it's confusing about the other three - since I'm using a Frost/Blood (soon Unholy) Dualspecc DK, it's a pretty good question there what of the trinkets are a good companion to DBW.

Does someone have experienced with the trinkets?
