Firat of all I want to thank of all you for you hard work and time. I have noticed that most enh shaman are gemmin almost all hit after expertise is capped. When does the white damage of the Rigid King's amber do less dps than the haste, becuase the haste does way less dps from what i see.

FortheWhorde · 07/11/10, 12:56 AM

also, bold dragon's eye is the most op correct?

What is the proper way to gemming?

Do you gem red/blue/yellow sockets with +23SP unless the bonus is +7SP?

How much does a singular point of AP increase our damage? Using this build (Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft), what is the expected damage increase to;

Melee Swings
Crusader Strike
Divine Storm
Exorcism
Seal of Righteousness
Judgement of Righteousness
Consecration
Hammer of Wrath

Bibi linked this conversation from beta today. I am a Slyvanas fan since TFT (guess I was missing Kerrigan too much!) and this gave me a loregasm, but, what the hell is the new Lich King doing if he is letting Valkyrs run around unemployed?

At this point I really wish they had the courage to be done with Lich King storyline and move forward instead of having the oh so common "the guy in a comma" cliche.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: Where is that Orge headed buffoon?
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner Ah, speak of the devil...
*Portals from Ogrimmar arrive with Hellscream, Hellscream's elite, and High Warlord Cromush*
*Hellscream jumps from the portal down to Sylvanas*
Garrosh Hellscream: This better be important, Sylvanas. You know how I detest this place and its foul stench. Why have you called for me?
Garrosh Hellscream: And more importantly, what are those Scourge fiends doing here? *Garrosh makes a gesture @ the Val'kyr*
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: Warchief, so glad you could make it.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: With the death of the Lich King, many of the more intelligent Scourge became...unemployed. Those 'firneds,' as you so delicately put it, are called val'kyr. They are under my command now...
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: ...and they are part of the reason that I asked to see you.
Garrosh Hellscream: Get on with it Sylvanas.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: Very well, Warchief. I have solved the plight of the Forsaken!
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: As a race, we Forsaken are unable to procreate.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: With the aid of the val'kyr, we are now able to take the corpses of the fallen and create new Forsaken.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: Agatha, show the Warchief!
*The Val'kyr Agatha proceeds to resurrect fallen corpses as Undead*
High Warlord Cromush: ABBERATION!
Garrosh Hellscream: What you have done here, Sylvanas....it goes against the laws of nature. Disgusting is the only word I have to describe it.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: Warchief, without these new Forsaken my people would die out...Out hold upon Gilneas and northern Lordaeron would crumble.
Garrosh Hellscream: Have you given any thought to what this means, Sylvanas.
Garrosh Hellscream: What difference is there between you and the Lich King now?
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner: Isn't it obvious, Warchief? I serve the Horde. (She does the Female Blood Elf salute, which is downright hysterical because it's such a condescending salute to begin with ;p)
Garrosh Hellscream: Watch your clever mouth, *@*!*.(Yes he really called her a *@*!*)
Garrosh Hellscream: Cromush, you stay behind and make sure the Banshee Queen is well "guarded." I will be expecting a full report when next we meet.
High Warlord Cromush: As you command, Warchief!
Garrosh Hellscream: Remember, Sylvanas, eventually we all have to stand before our maker and face judgment. Your day may come sooner than others...

Thanks for this nice guide. It seems that the links in the spec chapter are missing:

If you're just getting started or looking for a ready-made spec option, this is a versatile one that's good to start with:

The main variation will be to take some of the points out of Balance (typically done by well-geared players who can reach the haste cap without Celestial Focus):

Hit Caps
  Single 2H or 1H WHITE...........164 (5% hit) - ?

    w/Precision...................99  (3% hit) - ?

    w/Draen + Prec................164 (5% hit)

  Dual Wield WHITE................919 (28% hit)

    w/Precision...................820 (25% hit)
    w/Draenei + Prec..............788 (24% hit)
  Titan's Grip YELLOW.............460 (14% hit)
    w/Draenei.....................427 (13% hit)
->  w/Precision...................361 (11% hit)
    w/Draen + Prec................328 (10% hit)

Was just wondering... Is this table (still) correct? Cause here it says that as a titans grip warrior with precision i need 361 hitrating, aka 11% hit, to be hit capped. But some are claiming i only need 5% or 8%.

Hey, I hope everyone is doing well. Here is my story, I got dragged to play wow by my sister and her boyfriend about 4 months ago. So they recommended a mage since they thought it would be easy enough for a "non-gamer". So I love my mage but I have a couple of problems. I have decent gear - The World of Warcraft Armory - Faithx @ Executus - Profile And with Arcane, I haven't been doing the best dps. My casting time seems to take forever and I am sick of my rotatation. I pull aggro so easily when I am not even doing as much as others. So another mage told me it may be my gemming and to match the socket bonuses but I thought spell power was most important for mages? Is something wrong with my spec? I researched, read it and thought I did what I was supposed to. And do you guys think I can go fire with my gear? It just may seem like more fun and I want to be able to do good dps in raids. Let me know if any of you can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Zerctuchik · 07/11/10, 12:41 PM

If you're using meta at start and got CoE dudy would the opening rotation be like this: LTr1->SB->CoE->meta->Immo->CoD->Corr-> spell priority or LTr1->CoE->meta->SB->Immo->CoD->Corr-> spell priority?

gymcoach111 · 07/11/10, 2:43 PM

this maybe a stupid questions, BUT. Since expertise is at the bottom of the totem pole, is it necessary to be capped at 26? if you can get more haste or strength, wouldn't it be better to loose expertise and gain one of those?

Loridon · 07/11/10, 3:22 PM

So I see in the list there is alot of Purified Dreadstones, is 10 spirit signifcantly better than say 6 or even 2 sp, depending on the respective socket bonus (between 5SP and 9SP).

Having trouble justifying a 10 spirit over 5 SP.

Anyone have opinions.

thallasian · 07/11/10, 3:56 PM

Hey this is my first post in here, I cant really understand that Frost BiS list, ur not capped in hit, neither are u capped in expertise oO? Hit cap = 165 or whatever it is, 5%, and expertise cap = 26? please explain for me how this is better.

mohadeeb · 07/11/10, 7:45 PM

i've always wondered this, i'd assume its based off lowest health as well

Sorry but,I have gone over the simple Q&A and I read this fourm about frost dps,but I can not find how the priorty system works...right now I am useing Glyph of Howling Blast to apply my FF,but according to this I should be useing IT? I just dont really see what the diff is,Maybe my math is wrong but glyph of HB and useing HB to apply FF seems to be a dps gain for me.... If this Q was posted elsewhere sorry =(
