Reducing CDs will just drop items from rotation. Get Judgement down to 6 seconds, CS down to 3 and DS to 7.5. If it only shaves off fractions of a second then the GCD alone will prevent any significant change.

What happens to Consecration? Lasts 10 seconds, but cooldown drops to 7.5 (or 8 and 6). They will overlap or you'll "lose" ticks?

Ret and DK have been GCD locked. The new runes remove this from DK so they have more wiggle/decision room. We stay GCD locked and Haste increases the GCD lock? Don't get me wrong, this would make haste a good stat (more of our best attacks, fewer of our filler attacks), it's just not good from a systemic perspective.

I cannot see them implementing this, which is why we haven't yet heard of something regarding haste. They need something that improves the system and makes it desirable.

hi aldriana, hi rest

ive got a hopefully simple question

im using the actal combat sheet . so ive checked some rogues im the arsenal, , rakez from paragon for example. i was amazed to see he skills and glyphs rupture , i chekcked some combatlogs of him and he plays this way in the raid too

there exists a way to cange the evi only circle in that sheet? in the tab D3 i cant change anything,
would be great if anyone can help me

I was wondering about T10. If my guild doesn't run heroic 10 or Normal 25, is it still worth it to get 4pc un-sanctified T10 for the bonus, or should I simply go with the badge off set pieces?

acclimation what are its uses. ive heard that its not worth the point bonus but using a threat mod called tankadin tips i checked out my damage reduction from heavy magic fights such as toravon and i got a signicant damage increase. during koralon i was able to resist most of the damage of meteor fists with out using ams and im curious as to why its not included in the spec as a serious survivabillity tool

Do I want 4pc t9 or just 2pc? I specced Destro and just hit 80...

I've read that Faerie Fire and Sunder Armor give 24% additional arpen when attacking the affected target. What I'd like to know is should I still aim to 1400 arpen or is it redundant? How do they stack? Diminishing returns apply there as well? Would that mean that you can only achieve 100% arpen only via 1400 arpen rating and the buffs will only be a bonus to those who do not already have soft/hard capped arpen?

I'm rather new -though I've read quite a bit of the forum- but I didn't really know where to post this. I know it is a rather general question but I hope this is the right place to post it.

I've seen some mages in some of the top progressing guilds on my server picking up 3/3 Spirit of the Mind recently as part of the standard 57/3/11 talent point allocation. I've been under the impression that SotM was the worst place to put talents for Arcane.

What's up? Is there a certain amount of spirit where the talent becomes "not-so bad".

Thanks in advance

Hey ive been healing as a paladin for some time now and im an FoL paladin,alot of people say im gemmed wrong etc etc.

I gem mostly Spell Power with the odd Haste Gem here and there.

Buffed in ICC 25 my FoL crits for around 11.5k.

I never have mana issues what so ever,my mana pool unbuffed is under 25K and if i keep on top of casting my Judgement of Wisdom on a Near by enemy every time the CD is finished i get in or around 1.1K+ mana from a single judgement.

Saying that i also using Some Shaman resto gear as the haste and MP5 on it is fantastic and ive often out healed and Holy Light paladin who is better geared then i am.


So in a way as a healer in a both a 10man and 25man im ded handy,as my FoL crits for a nice high amount im very usefull for keeping the tansk topped up and even the Raid iswell when you get to the two Dogs before the Plagueworks as there decimate does a nice bit of AoE damage tothe Raid as im sure your all well aware off

:-)

Faerie Fire and Sunder Armor are applied independently of armor penetration, so they do not affect the armor penetration cap. You could think of them as stacking multiplicatively, but that's not quite correct because armor penetration itself does not act in a multiplicative fashion. The math is a little complicated, but suffice it to say that Sunder Armor and Faerie Fire provide exactly the same fractional damage increase (to armor-mitigated attacks) no matter how much armor penetration you have.

Precise mathematical details:

Let A be the target's armor value before armor penetration, but after debuffs. Let x denote the fraction of damage taken from an armor mitigated attack (1-damage reduction). C is the armor constant, 15232.5 for level 80 attacker. Let k be the nominal armor penetration fraction (as shown in the character pane).

One can work out (e.g. in this post) that (assuming A > C/2)
.

In particular, the damage is proportional to 1/(A+C) no matter the value of the armor penetration k. Again this only holds for A > C/2 = 7616.25, but this inequality is almost always true for raid bosses since they have 10643 base armor (8088.68 with Sunder Armor and Faerie Fire). The only situation in which this condition is violated is when Shattering Throw is also active - so in fact one can work out (assuming the other debuffs are present) that Shattering Throw does become less effective at higher armor penetration levels.

Your impression was correct till the latest patch that nerfed some arcane talents that where good before.

With the changes to Incanter's Absorption its not such a good talent anymore also some other minor arcane changes have opened up some talent points.

In heroic icc some fights take longer and if you are progressing on lk which is a really long fight, the extra spirit / mana regen is handy (its smal but every bit helps) with higher gear the spirit on it goes down even, so its not cause of the extra crit you get, but again every small bit of extra dps helps.

Some people will also pick up slow for valks on the lk fight (mostly for 10 mans or an o shit this one goes the wrong way situation)

I even believe more mages start going fire again when they get the gear for it, cause on some icc fights its just better then arcane.

If no one else is providing the debuff, you should use it instead of Doom.
