What really annoys me is that Killing Machine proccs don't matter that much anymore. It's simply free crits, not more. No skill requirement since there's only a too little difference between using KM/OB and KM/FS.

I'd love to see OB becoming a clear winner so that there might be a reason to not use OB.

I have a simple question:

Is it worth to put a blue(purple/green) socket on my cloak for a +4 agility bonus, or should i go for a red one with AP?
And is it worth for a +6 agility bonus(on my pants)?

Why does the destrucion_fullsp profile have 140 searing pain casts!?

Because Blizzard broke its coefficient and it's actually even better than backdrafted Incinerates. Hopefully will get fixed *soon*, but in the meantime if your tanks are *really* good...

Yeah that makes sense, I do play with a bit of latency. thanks for the info, at least now I know what was causing it even though it will probably be tricky to avoid.

As of right now, it's not worth it, but 4.01 may be live tomorrow. You may want to wait a day and find out. If and when 4.01 does go live, though, you're probably going to want agi/hit gems in the blue slots to get your socket bonus.

Regarding Mastery for tanks at level 80:
Wouldn't it be near OP to gain hit-immunity granting a guaranteed 30% damage reduction for melee hits?

I tried to reach it on the PTR and despite me lacking some 277 gear, I could reach 96% hit-avoidance, with half of that being Block at the cost of roughly 10k HP.

Of course for Cataclysm this will be out of reach due to the higher combat ratings and thus Mastery is not considered to be very valueable for Cata raiding.

With a fixed IB, does the benefit of sp to demo go down? Since each sbolt hastens the next meta.

I tryed the 3 talent builds on the PTR . Demonology seems good , terrible damage . I have only a question:
" Affliction has got haste rating and crit on all dots ... and nothings else ? "
For example:

-death embrace is activated only when target's life is at 25 % ---> down from 35 %
-no more soul siphon effect on drain soul ----> currently 6 % increased damage for every dot , at max 18 %

Ok you gain in the first part of the fight , because all your dots tick faster , but you lost lots of damage under 35 % .I hope it will be not so much .

Can someone post the talent spec that they plan on using in raids once 4.0.1 comes out. I'm curious if I should allocate points to Acts of Sacrifice or not.

It's personal preference, really. I'd go with 1 point in Guardian's Favor since I don't myself using HoS that much, or using it on anyone else either. Whereas BoP/HoP are much more needed for dire situations.
