@Aieda, Its still there, just been inactive for a while. Head to your User CP (at the top of the page) and choose "Edit Options" in the menu (to the left). Scroll down to the box called "Thread Display Options" and look for the one called "Default Thread Age Cut Off" - change it to your preference (Personally I have it at "Show All Threads" so I can find whatever I am looking for)

Can someone elaborate to me why hunter class didn’t have serious update to fix hunter/pet focus issues and talents? Did I miss any schedule blizz posted about which classes being focused at right now?

This seems reasonable, I will test this later today.

I've been an avid user of Aldriana's spreadsheet for some time and have only recently started to use iDPS.

Recently I've been trying to decide between the Frost Giant Cleaver/Bone warden Splitter with 5/5 in Hack and Slash
or
Abomination Knuckles and Steel Bladebreaker with 5/5 in CQC

Un-buffed iDPS suggests the Fist/Dagger (.33%) and the Spreadsheet suggests the Axes (.26%) but neither are what you would call a significant differential.

Buffed iDPS suggests its too close to call (.1%) , whilst the spreadsheet points (.8% or 78dps) to the Axe combo.

This raised two questions.

1, Both iDPS and the Spreadsheet give an extra 1% on buffed Axes over buffed Fist/Dagger - Is this because the buffs favour H&S over CQC?

2, Are these figures within any practical margins of error and therefore not to be worried about?

In practice I can detect little difference other than a feeling the Fist/Dagger combo seems quicker to react.

I doubt it.

The classes so far updated, have seen a serious increase in Blue traffic prior to the updates. Hunters have yet to see much detail in that matter (compare to Warriors and Paladins for instance).
But one can also see this as good. When they do the major updates it will most likely mean that they think the classes are close to where they want them, and only polishing remains (positioning of talents etc). I think we can agree that Hunters require a fair bit more than that.

It isn't really unreasonable that Hunters will take a longer time. I can imagine that the change to focus means a lot of basic stuff, not even talents, needs to be extensively tested, and only when that is fluid/right/whatever will they proceed to the more complex stuff.

My char

With 71 frost emblems and infinite triumphs...I can buy tier10 shoulders to get the 2set bonus, or upgrade my tier9 to 9.5 and get the purified lunar dust or the vendor cape. If I go for tier10 shoulders I will not reach haste softcap, but I will lose the 2set bonus, how important is that bonus rlly?


Tier10 shoulders+more spare frost emblems OR Tier9.5 shoulders and another frost emblem item, cape or purified lunar trinket?

25 Valithria HM

As far as I noticed glyphing for Healing Wave for that fight shouldn't be needed.

My current rotation on this fight is RT-HW-HW-RT-HW-HW-RT.

Vodkawater - Demon Soul is my character and you can check his resto gear out in wow-heroes cached.

The Dreamwalker debuff that gets applied by stacking the orbs I found is not really that bad. When I first attempted the boss it was overwhelming but you have to remember inside when your collecting the orbs you can riptide yourself and generally our disc shields or druid hot's negate any of the damage I received from debuff of course I only get around 22-27 stacks before its finished.

My question is Earth Shield:

Should it be placed on a tank through-out the fight from scaling with the healing?

Also is there a better rotation for Valithria then my current RT-HW-HW-RT? Currently I beat paladins and only touch around 32k HPS but I see other resto shamans on WorldofLogs doing 40k+

Thank you for your time.

Great thread, I refer to the BiS part a lot. Thank you for keeping it up to date.

Would it be possible to re-add entries for the 264/277 T10 gloves? You have entries for the rest of the set, and it would be nice to have the gloves listed again for quick reference.

Thanks again.

Is soul shatter still going to use a shard?

At what point exactly does hit and expertise become important?

I'd suggest you READ the OP of this thread, since it has a pretty good answer to that very question.
