I retract my idiocy. As you were.

Is there any information out there on what stats to prioritize when gearing a Destro lock? I was curious what I should be gunning for after hit cap, if anyone could help me out that would be fantastic.

Mind sharing your app with community?

For lvl 85 characters Mana Regen via Spirit is calculated with the following formula:

Mana Regen = Sqrt(Intellect) * Spirit *.016725

If you want to know how many Combat Regen this is, just multiply this Mana Regen with 0.5 (this is what your passive bonus "Meditation" says).
But: When you specc for holy f.e. you got 20% more Combat Regen because of Holy Concentration, which means that you have to multiply your Mana Regen with 0.7.

@ Genzen: This depends on your play style. If you often use Greater Heal and Heal (and I think you will), then 3 points in Divine Fury act like 20% haste on these spells without having any haste rating on your gear, which is enormous.

im a little confused with the low crit ep. since it is so low we will be looking for items without crit, and items with crit we will reforge for a better stat. wont our crit rate be absolutely garbage?

I noticed that too last night actually.

This is nothing concrete but it seems that HS t3 was changed to a much lower chance, this is based purely on quite a few dungeon runs and raids, I haven't had time yet to training dummy proof it.

Krasher · 12/09/10, 10:24 AM

Is there any common consensus on best racial(s) for each faction yet?

Genzen · 12/09/10, 11:02 AM

Ah, wow. 20% is huge. I definitely think I'll go with that one then.

Thanks for the help; much appreciated!

Wow, is this a serious post?

Why in the world would you care if your crit rate was "garbage" when it is clear that it is a suboptimal DPS stat?

And what about Mastery? I see a lot of items which have crit/mastery or haste/mastery or crit/haste. I can't decide which is better.

Is it always a useless stat?

Although the stat weightings have not been officially re-posted, the idea is to reach hit cap and expertise cap followed by haste soft cap, as far as I'm aware, with crit then being better than mastery. Always remember that you can reforge to meet your requirements as necessary, although I wouldn't worry about gear so much yet until you have access to at least heroic dungeon loot and can start putting together a more comprehensive set.

On another topic, is anyone noticing anything wonky with inquisition? I'll have to run some more tests and parse a few more logs, but I'm not sure I'm seeing an actual 30% increase in damage done by holy abilities.
