What's the correct rule for reforging?

vryder · 10/12/10, 10:57 PM

so in light of landsoul's 4.0 spreadsheet, I went over to MaxDPS.com. Now I know their numbers are typically not accurate, and should be taken with a grain of salt... but...
with a hit rating of 9.41%, they rate hit as a more valuble stat than STR. Now I can't belive that, but thats what they say..
Does this mean that going way over the hit cap, including getting a belt with 60 hit rating will be beneficial in any way?

I had just over 26% Crit. After reforging all my gear with Crit on it I dropped to 22.60% Crit and I am now sitting at 13.12 Mastery.

So is DS in your rotation anymore or did that templar thing replace it.

Cataclysm beta, build 13183:

Glyph
•Lava Lash now Increases the damage dealt by your Lava Lash ability by 20% and no longer requires your weapon to be enchanted with Flametongue.
•Stormstrike now increases the Nature damage bonus of Stormstrike by an additional 10%, up from 8%

I never really found a reason to ask a question here until now.

Are my days of having Cold Blood and Preparation at the same time in PvP (ala World of Roguecraft) effectively over?

Haven't had a chance to test on beta as it just deployed this evening but will be working on testing both tomorrow.

I also went 2/2 Bloodworms on live and the proc seems rediculously low to be worth anything. Anyone have any other experience with bloodworms on live? At full stacks they would explode and heal me for roughly 6.5k hp out of the 58k hp unbuffed that i have outside of icc.

I was also wondering about reforging. I am currently hit and expertise capped at 8% hit and 26 expertise. Mastery seems essential to have for a blood dk for the healing bubbles, I am just wondering since avoidance seems important come cata how much and of which avoidance stat to reforge into mastery at the current lvl80. I am at 20% parry and around 25% dodge, just seeing which of the two to reforge into mastery if either?

I've found the same with bloodworms, i wont have any for a whole string of pulls, and suddenly get several at once but they do provide quite decent healing for 2 points, i dont think i will remove the points.

As far as reforging, im not sure if the bloodsim going around shows it or not, but i currently don't think i want to drop much avoidance, especially with the ICC debuff still in place (i havent personally checked this today). While mastery seems good i don't have nor cannot find any numbers that show it beating out avoidance atm but id love to see any info on this as i cant find any.

So, is it safe to assume that would could sacrifice some of the haste from out T10 gear for mastery?

seaborn · 10/13/10, 12:35 AM

hit me up at REMOVED

Apparently i have caused an infraction because my info was not as good enough. I just came here to find info and when I finally see place to help, i get slapped. Enjoy. i'm out.

princeOP · 10/13/10, 2:03 AM

i encountered this bug as well(and it was frustrating the heck out of me while it was happening)...though once i calmed down i realized the fact that indeed my combo points were pulling magic tricks and taking vacations without leave....i have also noticed the hemo buff droping though i didnt know it was cause of druid

Jestyr991 · 10/13/10, 2:04 AM

Yeah i suppose your right, it will always be our bread and butter...our haunting bread and butter...

Sahlia · 10/13/10, 2:11 AM

Looks like those three major bugs made it to the liveserver:

1) The melee haste buff(IIT) actually increases our meleeattack speed - and increases our Rune CD by 10%. So is melee haste still a buff? I fear, we are doing more damage without melee haste buff than without it.

2) Killing Machine proccs used when HB is used (but HB doesn't crit; just the procc gets used). Think you simply shouldn't use HB when KM proccs.

3) Obliterate offhand damage still bugged(too low).

I don't know, how m,uch those changes actually affect the speccs and the value of stats. Maybe haste is now better for DW Frost and DW Frost seems to be bugged (OB Offhanddmg).

Knocka · 10/13/10, 2:23 AM

So I respec'd today and have been running the new rotation for 2 handed unholy and still dont find myself pulling that big of numbers. I think I must be doing something wrong.

Based on my gear can anyone give me a ballpark of what i should be outputting as dps?

The World of Warcraft Armory - R�ddic @ Bleeding Hollow - Profile

I am getting about 8k dps. I thought i would be upwards of 10k any thoughts?

Also good to note i tried reforging my expertise and some of my crit to haste and then again trying mastery instead and am finding the same numbers?

Beerguzzler · 10/13/10, 2:33 AM

You should be glyphing Imp over Incinerate for Destro.
