We absolutely drain soul execute (while keeping all of our other buffs/debuffs active).

Hi, i'm new here, im testing with rawr and it told me that if i replace the yellow gems of 20haste with 20 hit i will improve my dps. im not sure of that because the spreadsheet tells me distinct.

It try to put me into white cap or what?

During ICC trash, should I just continue spamming FoK like I do in heroics, or because the mobs have quite a lot of health compared to earlier raids, should I focus more on getting single mobs down quicker?

Thank you

Long story short, the ORIGINAL design philosophy from the WRATH Beta was for Enhancement to stack up MW and use it to get a auto critical hit LvB to maintain 100% up-time for Elemental Devastation. As you have probably heard from Rouncer numerous times, I found some very interesting beta mechanic issues with Enhancement that led to use wanting to use super fast weapons, caster gear, etc due to how LvB worked. Of course Blizzard did not approve of this play-style, so they first removed LvB from MW, then reduced its coefficient so that we wouldn't want to hard cast it either, indirectly leading to problems for Elemental and Enhancement as far as dps balance are concerned.

Flash forward to CATA Beta, and they have put LvB back on MW, again for the purpose of us using it to maintain near 100% up-time for Elemental Devastation. The above mentioned problems are solved because we no longer get a 200% bonus damage for spell crits. The problem is not that LvB is on MW, but that it has a 8 second cooldown and Elemental Devastation has a 10 second duration. This leads to some new issues, at least in the first couple of raiding tiers, where we will most likely want to save our MW stacks for LvB just to make sure we keep ED up 100% of the time. They can solve this quite easily by either making ED have a 15 second duration, or making MW stacks reduce the cooldown on LvB itself making it our primary single target nuke. There are also a ton of other suggestions on the Beta and Live realms to take a look at.

Unleashed Weapons are currently bugged atm, and hopefully so that they can make the spell worthwhile. In any case, UW Flametongue should NEVER have affected Flame Shock in the first places: its needs to only provide a 20% bonus damage to LvB or LL, though having it work with both FS and LvB gives us an easy indicator to show us who knows how to play their class and who doesn't!

Thanks for clearing that up for me. My bad on the UW FT it was stuck in my mind because I read something about using it with LvB or FS to see which would be best. It still seems odd to me that the mastery only affects nature dmg but w/e I guess lol.

in case of 1000+ haste unbuffed, is firestone considered better ?

I have noticed that focus magic works well on healers too.

It has been my experience to spam arcane blast.I only use AM or AB when i am low on mana.I get higher crit. and am pulling min 5k dps.

While Charred Twilight Scale is surely a BiS trinket, it doesn't load correctly into Simcraft. I was wondering if anyone knew the correct syntax for adding the line to an imported gearset?

Always nice to get the attention of the boss.

Yes, I realize this is the sort of question you guys hate, which is why I did everything I could to find the answer myself. When the smoke started coming out of my computer, I decided to give up, get brave, and risk asking the question.

I genuinely appreciate your taking the time to point me in the right direction. I think I can take it from here.

Does agility give rets any atp? I thought i read somewhere, maybe BC, that 1 agility was = 1 atp for rets? just wondering if it is like this.

Recently I have heard rumors of certain classes gaining world buffs and being summoned to fights as to cheese their WOL records.
Just curious- Anyone heard of any useful world buffs that moonkin may enjoy?

You're kidding, right? I think you need to go back and read this thread again.
