I just hit 85 as well. I'll do some testing over the weekend hopefully and then I'll send you a PM with all of the results.

Probably do Therazane next.

Nice. Hopefully those 359s help me out. I just hit 85 and am having a heck of a time keeping people alive for some reason so far.

I've started leveling my hunter and i'm not sure what stats I should go for before others. Mastery > Haste? ect.
Any answer to that?

In the pre-raid profiles only destruction is hit capped. Is there a reason for this? Or am I missing something obvious?

vaeevictiss · 12/09/10, 8:55 PM

so im seeing a lot of things with these builds im curious about, the one that stands out, is why take Emberstorm, if the only time were casting SF is after a soulburn? wouldnt the points be better in something like Dark Arts to get the pup 10% more damage?

also, is there no point to cast that initial SB before the haunt anymore?

Set Bonuses

* [T11 2P] Increases the damage done by your Templar's Verdict by 10%.
* [T11 4P] Your Inquisition ability's duration is calculated as if you had one additional Holy Power.

Templar's Verdict is going to be close to 30% of our total DPS. Thus a 10% gain is approximately a 3% overall DPS boost.
Inquisition lasting an additional 10 seconds provides more Holy Power for TV usage. This will require modeling and testing to see how useful it proves.

How does 10 secs of Inquisition help provide more Holy Power for TV? Either the OP mixed up Inquisition with Zealotry or it should have been Holy Damage instead of Holy Power. Inquisition increases holy damage by 30%.

The bonus allows Inq to last for 40s instead of 30s, so less are needed, and more TVs can be used.

As far as I can see, most rogues go for 1 expertise and reforge the rest to hit / mastery, but personally I'm not a fan of dodging abilities, I just can't find myself to like it I guess :P

So here I was wondering how much of a dps loss it would be if I'd cap expertise, I saw a discussion in another thread here ( the rogue changes in cata it was if I remember right ) about why expertise has such a low EP value and stuff.

So yeah, it might be basic for some but I really dont know what I should do about this expertise thing, is the dps loss maybe so marginal that it's not that important to either cap it or not, maybe just personal preferences or is it huge enough so I really shouldnt cap expertise and instead reforge it to hit / mastery.

I'd do reforge exp to hit if it's better, I don't want to say alot better, cause I know that its not THAT much of a
difference, but I hope you know what I mean :P

and sry if this was alredy answered, I couldnt find an answer to my question

I know what you mean, i was thinking the EXACT same thing, and i'm probably thinking of the same post you are in regards to expertise you're thinking of.

Is there/will there be any threads on specs other than demonology once Cataclysm has launched? All the forum threads I've read so far have been about Pre-Cataclysm information and nothing new to help determine what stats are best (haste,crit,mastery,etc). I may have missed it somewhere but i have not seen any indication of what to start reforging for.

I know pre-cata it was basically pure haste, however with current gear I wasn't to sure.

vaeevictiss · 12/10/10, 12:21 AM

ahh ok. didnt know that. so were trying to maintain 100% uptime.

Stormaker · 12/10/10, 2:15 AM

Can u please give numbers for the difference between haste and mastery?

takolin · 12/10/10, 4:02 AM

For fire:

Int
haste (12.5% raid buffed. Without 5% haste buff = 1181 haste, with 5% haste buff (516). Assuming you're specced 3/3 NP
hit (up to 17%)
Crit
Mastery
Haste

Note that haste after 12.5% and mastery are really close to each other with mastery only being a small tad better.

Kralizek · 12/10/10, 4:36 AM

any suggested build for a lvl 85 resto druid? the target should be heroics and 10-men raids
