I was wondering. Has the proc rate on Trauma been reduced? Also, would Royal Scepter of Terenas II - Item - World of Warcraft rank above Trauma - Item - World of Warcraft, or does the proc still outweigh the extra stats?

Thanks.

PS - If the Royal Scepter is the better of the two, do we know if the Heroic version of Trauma would beat out the non-heroic Scepter?

Hello... I'm the sole dps dk that is in my guild's 25 man and 10man raids. I do not mind playing a orc death knight nor a blood elf death knight. How beneficial are the orc racials? I do prefer the blood elf aesthetics more that the orc. Though both are equally awesome. I used rawr with different sets and lvls of gear to differentiate the dps between a orc dk and a blood elf dk. I found that it ranges from 150+ dps to 200+ dps.

Would that make much of a difference on whether a boss gets downed or not?( Example: Rotface 25man regular)

(I'm currently a blood elf death knight using the 0/17/54 unholy spec. if needed my armory is: The World of Warcraft Armory - Joker @ Winterhoof - Profile )

Also... would the magic resistance racial of the blood elves make a difference on any of the infusion fights? I prefer to do as much dps as possible, no matter my race. If its actually hurting me and my dps , and in consequence the raid i'm in. I will see about switching to orc as soon as possible.

P.S. the ap racial, the pet dmg buff racial and the +5 expertise with axes is quite nice.

Do I need to complteley cap hit rating?

It is currently about 370 - is that too low? I'm a bit of a newb and I've heard from different people that I just need it to be 315 and from others that it needs to be about 700. O.o

Would the blood elf magical resistance racial help on any of the shadowmourne infusion fights?(Putricide, lana'thel, sindragosa )

Currently on the putricide fight and wondering about that. If it does not help, I'll race change to orc since of course. More dps that I do , the faster the professor will go down.

Hey there, long time reader, first time poster.

The BiS list says that it isnt hit capped or expertise capped, I understand the hit but the expertise thing is bothering me. Do we really not need to worry about having expertise at all?

According to the list if im a orc death knight and i have everything on that list, I have no expertise.

Thoughts?

Okay so I have the 4 pc t10. My spec is 0/17/54.

Here is my armory link: The World of Warcraft Armory - Ccab @ Altar of Storms - Profile

I need some help because I have my t10 Chest(264), Hands(251), Helmet(251), and Shoulders(264). BUT I have Heroic [Scourge Reaver's Legplates] equipped and Heroic [Landsoul's Horned Greathelm] NOT equipped. Its just in my bags.

My question is: Should I equip the Heroic Helm and lose my 4pc t10 or should I just keep the helm for a later time..if so when should I use it. OR should I just get rid of it completely and just try for the Heroic tokens for my 4pc?

Thanks for whoever can answer this question sufficiently for me.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for posting this..I couldnt find anywhere else.

I thought the Fester and Rotface damage was some nonsense Shadowstorm, both Shadow and Nature and take the lower of the two to decide what you can resist, but never both. So if you have a priest, NR totem is useless.

Took me forever to find the error. If it's not gems, try double checking your heroic items.

Just controlled that, still same fail. gonna try and download it again

I was discussing earlier today about the randomness of fire dps. As we all know proper crit streaks are vital for fire.

Now his argument was that gemming haste instead of crit is lowering the randomness of your dps, because haste always is a dps increase and crit isn't.

But then I was thinking, doesnt increasing your crit by gemming for it lowers the randomness of your dps aswell? The closer you get to 100% crit the lower the randomness of your dps is?

So my question is, when RAWR clearly shows gemming crit is better then gemming haste, is there ary reason to still hold on to haste gemming because its 'less random'?

The only reason why you'd want to continue gemming haste is if you regularly switch between fire and arcane.

I see the Prot talent One Hand Weapon Spec reduced to 3 points (from 5), but nothing else in that tree.
