In the spirt of 'making lemonade' when given lemons (Combat Rogue's) would it be better to accept the fact that the extra MH attack is gone (for now).

Embrace our lemons


Would it be better to go either instant / instant or deadly / instant with a high hit rating & Mastery. (1. Agility, 2. Hit, 3. Mastery.)

My reasoning is that once Deadly stacks to 5, as I understand, just the duration is updated no additional damage is done. By placing instant on the OH Mastery: Main Gauche procs would gain additional damage.

I understand that the reason instant is on the MH because it will hit for more damage. Taking it off the MH could be a DPS loss but a high hit / mastery rating could make up or be a DPS increase.

They really just took what was a looked forward to feature, and stomped it into the ground. I was anticipating seeing guild achievements and ranks spread guilds on the server from one another. Now instead of being an interactive feature, it's a passive one.

hello i was reading you large resto druid post and i have a few questions about the use of healing touch.
now that health pools are so large im finding that my healing touch doesn't heal the up very quickly although i am finding it doing more healing quickly if someone in a dungeon has taken a big hit i.e. a group wide aoe. but not in danger of imminent death

my question is should i use healing touch more often

No, that's incorrect. Instant is on the main hand due to PPM (procs per minute) mechanics. The slower the weapon, the greater the chance the poison will proc, resulting in better numbers than the static chance of deadly procing.

According to the simulation, the arcane - the weakest raid build (less than frost!). I would like to clarify whether this is the real situation?

I've been curious about the values of mastery and haste - is there any consensus about which of the two is best to reforge to, yet?

Because it was removed.

Any thoughts about Inner Fire and Inner Will switch during encounters?

Has there been any research done on TG vs. SMF? Coming from classic, the idea of using one handers again excited me. I just hit 85, and haven't been able to do any sort of theorycrafting, but I just can't fathom SMF being equal to TG.

The fact that 2h weapons have 100+ more DPS on them (and higher top end values) and the fact that 2h weapons have more stats on them, I can't see the 15% damage buff equaling out (Since slam is rarely used to my knowledge, I've excluded that).

Again, none of this is based on research.

Hello everyone. First post ever so I apologize if I mess up.

I have a question to talents. As of right now I'm lvl 82 as the old spec for affliction I'm currently fully spec'd. So now I will have 3 extra points that I can't seem to put to good use. I was thinking of putting 2 points in improved soul fire for the haste buff. Opening up my rotation with a soul burn and insta cast SF. Giving me the buff an going into my normal rotation. Now I'm well aware the it's a destro spell an the damage will be close to nil but it's not the damage I want its the proc. Most of the other talents I find to be a waste. This is the only one to me that makes sense. An I could be wrong.

Which Profressions are the best for (Fire-)mages at the moment?
I think Engineering is weaker than Tailoring, but I'm not sure at all.

I've also been wondering about the expertise/spell hit cap. In most expansions, it seems to be very useful to cap those? Especially considering that 50% of mut's dmg is spell, wouldn't it be ideal to cap it through reforging? Agi may have the highest value, but reforging will not really affect it. Atm, I'm expertise, and 4 or 5% or the spell hit cap (12% melee hit,) and my dps seems to be decent about 14-15k in the tol'barad raid but that's because u have to stand in front and 12-15k in heroics depending on comp.

Looking at the profession weights, wouldn't BS + JC be the best two to get? Blacksmithing gives the two bonus sockets for gemming, and the JC gems give 67 in each instead of 20. Thats 134 bonus Strength, and then the 21Str upgrade over a standard gem. 156 Bonus Strength outweighs the benefits of Leatherworking, and allows you to keep the crit/haste enchant. Plus you get the benefit of free(ish) gems and gear, saving lots of money in the long run. Sure, if you can only pick one, LW is the best option, but with 2 profession slots, BS + JC would be the best combonation you could have.

Fellow Aff Locks. I have been looking everywhere for the level 85 rotation/priority for affliction every where. I have checked the Affliction thread(which I know is out of date) and I have checked the warlock den. When and where does Soulfire for the buff come in, and Soul burn usage? Is it always Demon soul, or do we use it for instant soulfires.

I've looked everywhere and cannot find it. Please you are my only hope

Mel.
