I simmed it and tested it recently and noticed it was a slight loss in damage to go FC/FC.

First off, thank you for the time you dedicated to such a nice app. I would like to add Halion loot into your project, and after reading the FAQ's posted on the project's home page, I gave it a shot.
However, I am not a programmer and after giving it a few tries, I could not get it to function properly.

Will you be updating soon to include these, or can you post the code for those items that I can cut and paste into the file?

Thanks again.

Seems to be a taboo to post tanking warrior macros, just wondering if someone would like to trade macro designs in 3.3.3. Although it I am waiting for my server to go up, and the new patch has been applied 3.3.5. I had time to kill, and browsing the topics of EJ. I wonder if I will get a infraction for this, seeing as though, this website "can" get convoluted with information. Although I do like the front end, and now I am posting to what I feel could be a place to start posting for Prot War tanking macros.

i fully agree with all of what your saying here; retribution paladins definatly have no as per say, definition of good bad or otherwise, although most of these changes could be new and exciting, nothing is set in crystal yet.
while on the other this whole paladin pet thing i do dislike, if its any thing like WC3, it could potentially a let down.
paladins just need firming up and rounding off current set up in my opinion, not a complete overhaul and change like is suggested for cataclysm.

So I see a lot of back and forth about which hand to hold which weapon and which poison to use on each hand.
The quick and flawed advice says slow IP in MH fast DP in OH. But other posts say fast DP in MH but do those take into account the newest DP changes?

So in short assuming equal DPS which weapon and which poison goes in which hand?

Thief · 06/22/10, 9:53 PM

Read:

Q: Which dagger goes MH?
A: The higher-DPS one.

Q: What if they're of equal DPS?
A: The short answer is that it doesn't matter very much - both options will be within a tenth of a percent of DPS. Usually it will be better to have the fast weapon MH, but there are situations - the most common one involving use of Tiny Abom - where that may not be the case.

Q: Wait, what? The fast one MH?
A: Yep. Basically, the extra poison procs you gain just barely outweigh the loss of Mutilate damage. See this post for numbers.

Q: So DP sometimes goes on your MH?
A: Yes. DP goes on the fast weapon, whichever hand it's in. If both weapons are the same speed, DP goes on the MH.

from the 3.3 rogue FAQ, and there is no patch since to have reason to assume there is any change.

Anybody else chomping at the bit to get this trinket from Ruby Sanctum [Charred Twilight Scale] would link heroic but don't know how =D

Open with serpent sting, then kill shot > chimera shot > aimed shot > arcane shot > steady shot. Chimera shot will refresh your sting, so only ever cast another serpent sting if the first one falls off or you change targets.

With regard to the shot rotation, would it be benifical to open with Aimed Shot, as it further increases the damage of the following shots?

Moyotoshi · 06/22/10, 11:00 PM

No, Aimed Shot only refers to its own damage. It deals weapon damage + its increase.

Beåutiful · 06/22/10, 11:14 PM

According to the tooltip I have read, it indicates it increases ranged damage by x. Perhaps I am simply misinterpreting it assuming it is an umbrella increase versus an aimed shot specific increase.

Was really helpful. What happened to it?

I need to ask a question about trinkets.

Right now I'm using DBW normal and HWT, would it be better for me to use WFS normal instead of HWT?

Duckmistress · 06/23/10, 7:39 AM

Very much appreciated! Bringing back memories of Bakka.

Recent switch from Tank to Arms and need some DPS help- Is Axe the preferred tree for dp or does one need to attain the 100% ArP capp before spec'ing axes? Currentley using the Heroic 2H mace from Princess and have picked Mace spec for added 15%, but with my current geming and stance bonus, I am at 103% ArP.
Its apparent that there is no specific rotation, but more priority button pushing. If anyone has some quick DPS pointers for a novice Arms, would appreciate it.
