Do we know if Bind Elemental is affected by Maelstrom Weapon? I don't believe it's listed in the tooltip, but it would be a nice and reasonable addition if it's not.

Hi First time poster, long time lurker. Forgive me if this post doesn't belong here, but is there a thread where people post their stats/dps and rotation? I for one have no way to gauge whether my dps is appropriate for my gear level and what I can do to max it out.

Thanks!

If i have 1 socket on any of my gear, and that socket is yellow, with a socket bonus of 4 str.
Should i then be going after the socket bonus with 10str/10crit or a 20 str gem and get 6 extra str.
Basicly the question is: 10crit or 6str?

On regards to haste, has anyone found the breakpoint in which crit begins to benefit more? I'm currently sitting at 19% haste and just under 34% crit and curious to which direction to go since there has been talk about haste having a breakpoint in which crit begins to be superior. In regards to gear selection, would it be wise to go for more gear that has hit as a base stat to allow for reforging of less hit which would result in being able to achieve more precise haste/crit values?

A few posts in the EnhSim thread discuss Searing Flame not scaling with Crit and they choose to fix the crit rate to 3%. The WoL link above shows the SF crit% definitely above the fixed 3%.

Is this fixed for Cataclysm?

Also would be good to verify if the pyro enchant is being based off spell hit/crit/crit dmg multiplier. That's currently how I have it setup, but I haven't tested it myself.

I wouldn't see why not since it's considered Fire damage. It should be by all means, unless Blizzard never intended for it.

Im an assassination rogue. Ive been wondering sence patch 4.0.1 came out what i should reforge to?

Wowslayer · 11/08/10, 10:01 PM

Reforging priorities are Haste > Mastery > Hit, assuming spell hit capped and expertise capped, for assassination.

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone had set up a script or addon to display your total avoidance/block once fully raid buffed?

Yes I did see that although I did not get much time to play with it (I was cleaning off an amplifier with leaking capacitors and cleaning the stuff up as best I could to keep it from eating through the traces on the PCB) but when I have a bit more time I will deff. take a look at it and see what my theoretical DPS should be at and aim for it. For now I just am tossing tidbits in the way of other BM hunters horribly lagging under 3K DPS (assuming gear is up to par) :P

All your help is appreciated much.

Hi I am new in WOW and like a bit of help. Sorry if my questions are maybe already asked, I try to search it but didn't found it mentioned.

I 've a hunter called Doke (shattered Hand Horde). I took BM and MM and like to know the next things:
1. Which talent tree I best take for PVE and which for PVP (and glyphs)
2. Which gems taking the best all agility or and hit?
3. Where can I buy or how can I get better PVP gear I searched in Dalaran and Wintergrasp but I don't find the right seller with for exemple Wrathfull gear or better gear

Sorry maybe for the noob questions but I am still a noob in WOW

Yes, good thing that there is a pretty good choice for boot enchants, seeing that our meta gems are so few. Besides I have always been a believer in that runspeed increase is a must for raiding.

Would Herbalism be a considerable profession for cataclysm?

I am wondering, if someone can give me some suggestions on what would be a good leveling rotation for an arms warrior. I am level 44 and have just gotten slam. I am putting out roughly 300-400 dps on dungeons, and i seem like this is a little low. Right now i feel like i am just button smashing and i would like to get a true rotation down. If anyone could lend me a hand on this i would be very glad.

I hope this isn't a stupid question, as the initial post doesn't say anything about it (and it really should).

What is the hit cap that I'm going for? Is it the 8% melee hit rating, or the 17% spell hit rating (for diseases, DC and what not)?

The main post just says we should go for the hit cap, and it doesn't specify which one. Thanks
