Stop equipping items that have +hit in favor of items that do not have +hit.

Question about BiS non heroic weapon, What would be the best weapon to use if you don't have the Heroic Warmace? I was looking on Team Robot and it was saying the [Ramaladni's Blade of Culling]was in the top 6 for me but I thought it's because I only have 5 expertise. I currently DW in UH but with the shit exp I have almost half my auto attacks glancing and dropped my dps.

I'm sorry if I'm asking dumb question (I'm pretty new to warcraft and friends told me that it's pretty good site to make a question) the reason is that atm I have 60 lvl warrior and I've been wondering should I reroll into dk for tanking (I'm interested mostly in raiding as mt so which one is more preferable for this role?) thank you

So myself and some friends have been arguing about who would win in a duel, an enhance shaman or a balance druid. I and a couple other people (boomkin side) say that because boomkins have pre-HOTs plus DOTs, starfall and treants the boomkin could easily out last an enhance shaman while the other people in this argument (enhance side) say that with spirit wolfs, purges, and riptide the shaman would win.

What are your guys' thoughts on this?

I don't know your specifics, but I'd guess that of the i264 weapons, Shadow's Edge would be the best for you.

I suggest downloading Kahorie's DK Sim and testing it out.

Sorry if I am re-asking what others have asked before, but why is there not a larger discussion on gemming full armor pen, especially not on the OP? The majority of top parses out there for all of Icc, for frost, are death knights gemmed armor pen. I've personally noticed a large dps increase on every fight bar Lady Deathwhisper and The Lich King. Is there any information on when it would be more beneficial to gem straight armor pen as opposed to strength? Kahorie's sim sims my dps lower when gemmed straight armor pen as opposed to when gemmed straight str.

I'm not sure if I should go .04 under the hit cap or .26 over. Any advice?

When i do a simulation whit Rawr, the [Herkuml War Token] seems to be the far superior item over [Tiny Abomination in a Jar]

Whit [Herkuml War Token] equipped i get 9308.79 DPS points in Rawr.
Whit [Tiny Abomination in a Jar] equipped i get 8957.84 DPS points in Rawr.

If i look at the stats of both trinkets the [Herkuml War Token] still seems superior over the [Tiny Abomination in a Jar], but it dose not look like a 350 dps different's to me, is eider the trinket broken ore is Rawr using wrong numbers, ore am i just wrong.

Is shadows edge better than non-heroic[Glorenzelg, High-Blade of the Silver Hand] tho? Cause I can just wait for it to drop when we kill him.

klone · 06/04/10, 3:32 AM

so i have been searching the web looking for a answer..... arp or strength for fury....atm im at 93% arp but im curious as to what is better without having to regem and try it in raids

River of Sorrows · 06/04/10, 4:24 AM

Thanks, Rouncer. I'm still getting used to EnhSIm. Don't know how I missed that. It's pretty easy to spot. =P

Leafkiller · 06/04/10, 4:35 AM

@Alarron - I will take a look at your script. I will also send you a PM of the current script I am using.

There has been plenty of discussion in the last few pages.
Also the OP hasn't been updated in ages, you shouldn't look there for up to date information. Most of it is accurate, but there is a lot missing and the priority listed is wrong.

I think most people start to gem armor pen when they can get close to the cap. Most of that requires heroic 25 ICC gear though.
In my case for example gemming full armor pen and switching 1 or 2 gear items around i could get around 70% armor penetration, but that's far from enough to make it outweigh strength.

It's quite hard to determine a breakpoint though. But from what I get you want to get pretty close to the Armor Pen cap after gemming.
Looking at one of the better DKs here on some random WoL fight. And after gemming he has about 95% armor penetration.

[Shadow's Edge] is the best weapon for an Unh DK before getting into Heroic 25m/[Shadowmourne] in my opinion. The Polearm from LK could also be considered.

It has better stats than Glorenzelg.
The only advantage it has is 15 more weapon dps and only slightly higher top end dmg.
