Thanks

You're getting tearing with vsynch on? Or by stuck do you mean its locking up?

Well, things you cant see on that interface atm is, that i am using caelnameplates and combopoint!

I, like many other, still use Recount. I have not found a "perfect" damage meter. WoW Web Stats is decent, but it requires far too much work in my opinion. Part of the problem, like others mentioned before, is some pets don't have ids, so tracking the tracking of pet damage is harder to calculate. Of course, there is always the 'synch' ability.

I can't wait to try this out tonight. I know you said that the mod looks at gear, does it work off of the required level, or the item level?

It would be awesome for this to work off of iLvl or gear score. The filters would be a great touch.

Garrote
Rupture
Slice and Dice
Recuperate
Hemorrhage Glyph (credit to Bakemono for configuring)
Find Weakness
Master of Subtlety
Shadow Dance

Instructions:

1. Download and install mod: Power Auras Classic - Addons - Curse

2. Ingame, type /powa to pull up mod configuration.

3. Click on Import Set.

3. Copy-paste the huge block of text found here into the field that comes up. Your screen will lock up for a bit.

4. Doubleclick on each icon on the Rogue bar to "test" its positioning, then move around as needed by manipulating x and y values (default placement will be over where most people keep their unitframe). Timers need to be moved seperately.

Post here if you need any help.

I suppose that all of this is very easily modifiable for combat and mutilate, but I have no motivation to do that right now. If someone else wants to, I'll put it in the OP and give you credit.

Also, we should probably figure out some kind of 2-second pulse to track anticipated HaT procs in order to avoid wasting CPs. Let me know if you have any ideas (maybe a revamp of Energy Watch?).

Edit: updated with working tracker for hemo glyph, thanks Bakemono!

I'm just unsubbed from WoW so I can't log in and do this, so I was wondering if someone could post a picture of the finished auras, as I may use them once December 7th comes around.

Well hi, ive been reading and reading, but one thing that i dont yet understand is the gemming part, i would like to ask you guys to help me out!

The World of Warcraft Armory - Grobarcina @ Skullcrusher - Profile

Okay im a Unholy DK DPS, with 5838 GS

33401 HP

2268 Strenght (unbuffed, not even Horn of winter, just staying in unholy presence)

Agility 206

Intellect 53

Spirit 84

Damage 2201-2604

DPS 993.6

Attack power: 5765

Speed 2.42

Haste 730 = 22.26%

Hit 268 = 8.71%

Crit : 25.72%

Expertise 13

Mastery 8

As you see almost all my items are socketed to strenght, now the question is, should i reforge something more, that i have in excess from my stats to haste? (help me)

And should i maybe socket haste to haste cap, and then let the other sockets be strenght?

Im levling JC, so that means that socketing haste to cap seems even an better idea.

Please help me and tell me what you think and what i should gem-reforge.

I hit under LK 10-man 30% buff, in phase 1 around 13k

den slowly stagnating to an overall run with running and all including = 9k

This thread has spoilers for the latest Wheel of Time book, the Towers of Midnight.

If you have not finished the book, read further at your own risk.

PSA: There's no need to use spoiler tags in this thread.

You're right. I wasn't thinking clearly. The fact that the buff lasts less time at a higher haste rate means you are getting those extra attacks in a shorter window of time, giving you more attacks overall.

It still would be nice to see the number of charges increased slightly with the increased speed, but there is a DPS increase for just increasing the haste %. My bad.

If you read the OP, it says that the "soft cap" for haste is roughly 900 rating at level 80, beyond which point Strength and Mastery begin to overtake it.

You misunderstood me. I understand the soft cap 100%. What I am trying to say, in one part of the post, it says you don't use 20 haste gems in yellow sockets. Yet at the bottom, the yellow socket gem listed is 20 haste. According to the op's numbers, haste>mastery>strength. If that's the case, seeing as how there is no mastery on lvl 80 gear and you can't gem for it, why wouldnt the optimal choice be to gem for the haste cap and reforge everything for mastery?

Combat:

I'm questioning the current prime glyph suggestion of SS/AR/Rupture. I'm considering SS/SnD/Rupture. The reason is based on the 3.x.x Roguecraft Spreadsheet. I'm losing you just stay with me. It's worth noting that in those days AR glyph in any configuration was just never good enough to take the place of your SS, KS, Rupture, Evis or ToTT glyphs. Not only was AR glyph just a bad idea but a lot of us noticed that an SS/KS/SnD glyph setup was the way to "win the spreadsheet," often giving more DPS than the traditional SS, KS, Rupture/Evis setups. Note also that ToTT was the clear real world winner because of the rDPS increase, but now we don't have to sacrifice anything to get that benefit.

Obviously things are much different now but have we changed so much that the AR glyph is stronger than glyph of SnD? I am really torn over how to solve this. When you have a longer Slice and Dice you can have longer cycles which has inherent benefits. When you have a longer AR you have a longer burst which is also a welcome addition.

I include the old SnD glyphed rotations here because it demonstrates the longer cycles and if SnD glyph proves better than it's likely we would use something similar even today. Remember these were just guidelines and the most important thing was and still is to keep up your priority and watch your SnD/Rupture up times.

3.x.x Rupture talented:
4s/5r/4-5e (~80% rupture uptime)
1s/5r (100% rupture)

3.x.x Evis talented:
4s/5e/5e

This was almost viable even back then so now I really think it's worth another look.

Hi all, I am Alex and am VERY new to the game. I am playing a DPS Warrior and am still at LVL 67. It is fascinating how you guys are tackling these issues but can they be put into layman's terms please.

Yes I am a noob and to be frank I barely understood anything :P

What I would like to know is what is it important to have at the end of the day (i.e. haste over crit etc) and also maybe what combo of special moves and talents one might opt for to gain maximum benefit for DPS.

Thanks in advance and kudos for the site and the amount of detail you got through.

Thanks all.

I've seen a number of references to "Consider's OP", but no links to it. I'd like to go check it out but haven't been successful in finding it (even using search). I'm new here so this may be inappropriate or the wrong place to ask, but could someone please provide a link to the OP for me. Thanks in advance.

Is there any table with ranking of trinkets for Shadowpriests after patch 4.0.1?

Ah, thanks for clearing that up.
