How is this post relevant in a Fury BIS thread?

Are they looking to buff ele shamans at all? I have done some research with other elemental shamans on my server, and they seem to have the same issue I'm having. On 10man madness I can get between 35-40k dps and still being way lower than the other dpsers in the raid. I've got the rotation and gear lvl of 386. I give it everything I got and can't seem to put out anymore dps. I've kinda been debating on what to do on my situation. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

Hey guys, i'm still relatively new (in my eyes) to world of warcraft and my first toon is my rogue which i lurvv

Now i have a few question's i understand this topic, though just now i had some rogue come up to me saying all this stuff and i'm like well um could he be right or could he be wrong but i'm clueless one way or another


Bliske @ Frostmourne - Game - World of Warcraft

if you could look at my gear, my sockets, my reforging & my hit caps / spell hit caps / haste / mastery and such are right or wrong i would really really appreciate it.


i thought "spell-hit cap should be 17.00% (mine is 17.05%) and under melee its (15.42%) it's according to what Aidey told me"

Mastery (i have no idea how low you can go (without needing it) but Aidey did however say that "mastery's cap should be 13% which im at 12.94% (under spell & melee)

Expertise is 21/21 (cap is apparently 26/26) for Combat rogues.

Haste is 27.78% (melee) 20.55% (spell)

If anybody could look at that link and tell me if there is anything wrong or anything i have said right now that i could improve (to be doing better DPS then please let me know


PLEASE*

well shadowcraft tells u all, go there and use auto reforge and auto gem, but for what i can tell u, ur orange gem (in ur pants) should be 20 agi+20 haste and not + 20 mastery, in terms of reforge i cant tell u exactly but i guess that if u go to expertise cap is a dps improvement.

Since it scaled so well with affliction in the first place I would imagine this wouldn't change the relative rankings though.
ok cool.

Starfall

why do ppl keep telling me Starfall is best used in Solar Eclipse? I see nothing that talks about that in the guide. one person mentioned to me that it's because of the Earth and Moon talent. That makes no sense to me being that the talent allows a general dmg increase from spells, which is not directly connected to solar eclipse.

anyone got some info on this?

Just wondering. I was doing LFR the other day. I won Resolve of the undying (Raid finder) i wanted to replace vial of lies. The RoD provides an almost constent dodge rating of 798~ but the vial of lies procs occationally for around 1458 dodge. According to Askmrrobot Vial of lies is higher on the BiS list...even though i think resolve is better. i asked my guild and they say resolve is better. Now im asking you! Which Trinket for a pve Survival/Mastery Dk should i use?

Thanks MÜU

I'm sorry but i am still confused a little about the 4 PC set bonus- all extra raid heals are based on the amount of healing the DK receives? If this is so than wouldn't a macro ANNOUNCING the casting of VB make sense so the healers can cast extra heals on the DK?

the 4pc puts a buff that either increases healing received by the raid by 20 percent or increases the raid's health slightly and only increasing the raid's healing received by 12.5 percent depending on whether the DK is glyphed or not. that is all, dont over think it.

WakeSpams - Combat - World of Warcraft Addons - Curse

This addon spams in /raid or /party when you use tanking cooldown and when it end. Don't work on ultraxion, because on ultraxion is increase buff time.

I use Tellmewhen to monitor buffs, CDs, etc... It's easy to configure to announce as a /say, /raid, etc... when a buff is a gained or fades. It works just fine for Ultraxion.

Confused

I have looked at several 2h Unholy DK´s who raid Heroic DS and almost everyone of them have no EXP cap
and some no HIT cap, also several of them favor Mastery above Crit...

I have always followed your guides for all my classes so forgive me but the only conclusion I can come to is
that your guides are not 100% in tune with actual gaming experience....or am I missing something?

If you read the guide in the first, especially the stat weights part, it explains most of your observations. Expertise is pretty low, why people rarely stack it to cap. And when you get gurthalak, mastery is worth more than crit, which is why people favor it over crit.

Oh!

I stand corrected, dont know why I read it the wrong way. I guess we should all togeather disregard exp then.
or is there a point where the math favors the other stats ? (Exp minimum) or should I simply but all to mastery ?

OptiTaunt works very good aswell. It supports Ultraxion and also handles interrupts, taunts etc.

Hey guys,
I have a question about normal weapons setup. I know that hc Gurth+hc Ataraxis are currently considered bis for fury warriors. What about normal difficulty weapons? I am currently using 2x 403 Gurth setup, was thinking about 397 ataraxis in oh but double gurth setup seems to be giving me bigger numbers. What do you guys think, should I switch my oh from 403 gurth to 397 ata? Here is my armory just in case:

Mining provides 120 stamina with Toughness where JC only gives You 78 stamina. JC allows You to have 3 x 101 stamina gems and with epic gems which gives 75 stamina it only boost You by 26 stam per gem.

No, the raid receives half of the death knight's benefit. The raid gets a buff called vampiric brood. Liar and Otou are trying to explain the effective difference between the two of them if you glyph it or not. Just read the tooltips, and it should become clear. Its not fancy or bugged, they are just dividing by 2. The point is, unglyphed can scale or shine based on the DK's HP, but the increased healing remains static. Keep dust in your bag, and consider what is needed for the encounter.

hey guys,

we killed ultraxion heroic last night and i had quite a good feeling but the logs got me back to the ground quite fast. I compared my logs with another ret from my server, his gear is quite similar to my own but nevertheless he made around 2k DPS more.. maybe something is wrong with my rotation, maybe it was just bad luck. I just wanted to ask if somebody could take a short look on this, maybe I'm just missing something..

I am aware of the fact that he had melee haste and I didn't. But it should be closer in my opinion..
