Just get something with a proc/stacks, when up cast treants.
/dump UnitAttackPower("pet"), return values are BaseAP, BonusAP, NegativBonusAP
Rightclick SP buff away.
/dump UnitAttackPower("pet")
Notice that the BonusAP is less than before

This is from two months ago and has been a well known fact long before since.

I'm amazed of how good Prot Paladins are doing this season.

Obviously hit is the big topic when talking about this....since they decided to put so much god damn hit on elemental gear. I have 4-piece sanctified currently and will be getting heroic sometime in the near future so I'm just wondering what's the best thing right now so I can aim for certain gear.

If i need to get the heroic gunship mittens and wear the sanctified heroic kilt or the opposite way around (getting a pair of heroic pants and wearing the tier hands)
thanks fort the help.

In the spirit of maximizing what DPS you can be doing, I like to preach that you do not pass up on any potential upgrade. You can't optimize your gear with gear that you do not have.

. Is this spec only good if you are DW weapons. Currrently trying to using Bryntroll, the Bone Arbiter. And changed talent tree into blood for 2 hand specialization. What would be a good average of dps to see from this spec in ICC.

Thank you for clearing that up for me.

My friend still wants to do more maths (his hobby

)

I want to personally thank you for putting up and maintaining both Spreadsheets; it helps more Rogues than I'd like to count

New Warlock Staff Question

G'day EJ Fourms,

I'm new tot he warlock class and just after some advice on which staff i should be using out of the 2 i currently have.

I Have been using the normal mode 10 man staff - [Abracadaver] up until now, though I'm about 100 hit rating over the cap with it. I picked up the normal mode 25 man staff - [Nibelung] yesterday and trying to work out if i should be using it instead?

Hit rating aside, Nibelung has no spirit, haste or crit, just an 84 spell power increase (not including the socket bonuses on each staff), is the proc on Nibelung better for me to be using in a standard tank and spank encounter? or the huge amount of haste on Abracadaver (136 haste rating) make up for the spell power loss between the 2?

Many thanks!

pretty sure there will be some more changes ... imho ... there's some pretty useless stuff becoming necessary in order to reach certain talents that really ARE mandatory.
Kinda seems to me that the smite stuff is gonna be a pvp thing - even though certain talents seem to indicate otherwise - but a smite that is also a heal makes a whole lot more sense in pvp.
If not - I'm not sure i'll be playing a disc priest in PVE...
Even though Overhead (here) had some pretty good ideas about this - I'm still very sceptical

If they were to change Evangelism to procc from penance-heals and put in an increase in penance-healing instead of damage, this would be a heck of a talent. Now it's just a little off imho.

On a totaly different note.... is it me or are they trying to make holy nova a more usefull healing talent - SoL has become a weird thing itself - making holy nova an instant cast (what up with that oO) [this is irony!!!!!] and adding in a imp. Holy Nova talent? with that in mind Evangelism is not that bad afterall.
They would have to make Holy Nova a raidwide area heal though.... kinda like Power Word: Barrier

Still excited - especially about Leap of Faith!!! Is that hot or what!?

I myself find it better to use a Mainhand caster weapon and offhand item as those usually have better dps together.
For instance [Frozen Bonespike] (lvl264 or 277) even together with offhand like [Shriveled Troll Heart] seems better.

Now for your question : the proc rate of [Nibelung] has been increased some time now and the summoned valkyrs do serious damage (+/- 2k smite which will always hit, stay for 30secs , around 20k damage total).
The item stats seem abit low but it is always an upgrade for the 10man normal mode staff. its abit situational as u are subject to the procs to get either low or high dps during a fight. On average the valkyrs amount for 400dps whereas the loss in stats when comparing to abracadaver dont come close to that

woody-shuhalo · 06/11/10, 10:15 AM

You mean the Marksmanship in 3.3 thread?

Right here: The MM Hunter in 3.3

No idea why it's not in the main forum any more.

If you're feeling ambitious and can remember, I'd "rent" the trinket by selling it back to the vendor every 90 mins or so (it's not hard to do in ICC) until you have 120 badges to get 2T10.

That being said, the trinket is close enough to BiS (until you're in mostly 277 gear) that I wouldn't lose any sleep over just buying it now.

So, short answer, get the trinket. It really is that good. For a Mutilate rogue the standard 2T10 you use are gloves/pants, with the Shoulders off LDW, the BoE chest off lootship (or the AH boss), and the hat off princes. Assuming you're in ICC 25 that is.

Hajaje · 06/11/10, 11:41 AM

Ok tx for the help

I saw now that Java tool...tought it was other thing :P
Easy to use and the trinket is with no doubt the best upgrade 150+

Now 1 moar easy question the EP values...they are used to compare items...or to tell me wich stats i should go for? if is the 2nd i go for the stat with moar or less EP value?

Once moar tx, and GZ for this great forum!

Cya later
