Hi,
I've got a question about Life Tap.
How often are we destruction warlocks going to use it?

At the moment I'm using Life Tap pretty often to Keep the buff up from the Glyph.
How often you might ask? Well, I usually use Life tap whenever one life tap will bring my mana back up to almost 100%.

I'm using Glyph of Life Tap and According to the Spreadsheet Glyph of Life Tap is better than Glyph of Immolate for me (with my gear).

So my quetions are:
Is Glyph of Life Tap better than Glyph of Immolate?
Am I using Life Tap to often?
How often does Destruction warlocks usually use Life Tap?

-----------------------

Then I also have a question about an potential upgrade to my gear.
I was using Guldan's Leggings of Triumph (IL 245) With 2x [Runed Scarlet Ruby]
I recently acquired Sanctified Dark Coven Leggings (IL 264) With 2x [Runed Cardinal Ruby]

With the Guldan's leggings I would have 4piece bonus
With Sanctified leggings I would loose that 4piece bonus

I've had 2 different results to which is beeing the greater
Rawr Says that the Sanctified are better
while the Spreadsheet says that the Guldan's are better

So my question is which one exactly is better?

Not a lot of discussion on here about the new Haste trinket in Ruby Sanc. I'm sure we all know that its better than DFO based on no ramp-up time etc. But Is wearing DFO(277) and Heroic Ruby sanc trinket better than DFO/Phalac ?? At this point we'll be easily over 1200haste but with our dots not scaling with all the haste is it worth it? I can't find much argument on which combo would push the most dps @.@
This might sound a bit like "hand-holding" but i think its more of a debate starter ?

A whole thread on beer.(Atleast the majority of it)
Loving these forums so far.

If i am to understand (and by any means please correct me if i am incorrect) the critical strike chance cap is at, or very close to 70%. My hunter is MM gemed purely agility or agility/crit (where set bonus allows) and unbuffed sits at 60.04% crit chance. With full raid buffs i jump up to 70% crit chance, which means that two/three of my DBW procs give a useless stat (not attack power from 600 agility).

My question is, should i change my geming style, instead of +20 agility gems, to be +40 AP/+20 ArP gems to lower my crit chance? Which gem would work better? Or should i change it at all?

has anyone tried to use this with office 2010? I am getting an error when hitting the recalculate button on the gear planner.

what do you think is going to be more important haste or spell power?

Rhy · 08/26/10, 2:23 AM

Hunters don't fall in the same category as melee classes. Our hit table is much different - there's no dodge, parry or glancing (we do have block tho if attacking from the front). That means that our cap comes at 104.6 (not 100% sure about the number) if attacking a target, 3 levels higher than the hunter, or 100% if you attack a target at your level. And with the current gear, I am not sure if you can come close to that. Sure, some abilities, such as Kill Shot for a Surv hunter (with the right amount of procs) hit the crit cap, and maybe Aimed shot for a MM hunter (with the TSA glyph) can get close, but that's about it.

Hello there.

I'm not great theorycrafter, so I have one question about healing at Valithria Dreamwalker. I can see, You use on her method of healing: riptide, healing wave, healing wave, healing wave... Is it simple mathematically method to calculate (approximately) difference between this method, and my method, which is: riptide, chain heal, healing wave, healing wave, and how significant is effect of T10 on each of this (call it) "rotations"??

Thanks in advance.

Does it only affect those that were in the area at the time of the proc? Or does it affect any that move into the effect during its duration?

I asked that question 2 posts ago and it has already been answered by ttyl just 1 post above yours...

But I agree with you, I can see a lot of situations where even the small area can get handy. I expect the range to get extended a little though.

I am an Enhancement Shaman that is in need of any changes to prepare for Cataclysm. Any changes including; possible priority list shifts, any new spells to factor into my "rotation", and any changes in my needed stats on my gear so i can pick up the right gear immediately. Thank you for any assistance you can give

I have a brief question:
As combat, is it more beneficial to gem for arm pen (even if you cant reach hard cap), or gem to soft cap and then use AP gems?

I love you, man. (Nohomo)

Ty, this is the most efficiant and effictive way. Not even close to sloppy.

I have blues from Hyjal which are better than my t10 gear

Andronna · 08/26/10, 10:56 PM

Is the current version of the spreadsheet broken? I ask because my hunter recently hit level 80 and I wanted to play around using the spreadsheet to figure some things out, but any time I hit any of the buttons in the spreadsheet I get a debugger page.

If it is not broken, can anyone confirm that it works properly in Excel 2010?

Thanks !!
