Regarding earlier discussion on the destruction filler points, I'm finding BoH to be worth removing 1 pt from Imp SP - at least on live, it's possible to keep it up on one target and BoD on another, despite the tooltip stating only one bane can be active on any one target at a time. For any fight with multiple targets/adds that are alive for a significant amount of time, it's absolutely worth using a GCD to put up BoH on one target while nuking another.

Further, is this a bug likely to be fixed or is the tooltip simply a bit ambiguous?

What are our priorities when it comes to stats on gear? Assuming hit capped would it be Agi>Haste>Mastery>Crit? And what minimums/maximums of these stats are most optimal?

your links are nonexistent man...

As you said in your last sentence, it's not always worth it to reapply riptide before the hot wears off, this is where haste also comes into play, you'll often find that without the 2x hasted HWs from riptide, you won't be able to keep up with simply spamming healing wave.

Haste overall is I think better throughput than crit, especially when we have so little instants/hots otherwise.

[Eternal Shadowspirit Diamond] - +81 Stamina and +5% shield block value (Requires 3 Blue gems)

It only shows "Block stops 1% incoming damage".

Thanks for clearing that up for me. My numbers appeared to be way off mark even.

I lack the experience of current raids, so I couldn't personally declare if LB spam had much room during fights. I guess I overestimated raids, too, and I'm probably making excuses to staunchly refuse to ever DPS, lol. =) But I'm glad to know I should start adjusting.

I'll play around with it and hopefully find a sweet spot for it in my "rotations".

What about the Focused Insight? Who is really using this? Is it worth or not? I have seen a lot of people with points on it instead of Cleansing Waters

Sanosu · 12/12/10, 11:54 AM

Has any definitive math been done on the best race for each spec? I'd do it myself, but I'm not entirely sure how to weigh the goblin attack speed racial, as it is not true haste. Also as far as the rocket goes, on live it seems as though it only scales with level, but the wowhead entry says it scales with AP, fire spellpower, level, and int. (Also it is apparently on GCD now?)

Personally i liked it and it was a big help preparing for raids again. Can't the pre-raid list be posted somewhere else for the people who used it? And to be honest it wasn't taking that much space in the thread :-)

Where enough talents points weren't spent in the affliction builds to fill the tree I took what seemed appropriate.

Hope someone finds it useful.

As far as Destruction goes, wouldn't two points in Doom and Gloom be better than two points in Demonic Embrace? And how necessary is it two have two points in Mana Feed? I was doing something more along the lines of 5/5/31.

PLEASE DELETE

The older thread still has the pre-raid list.

Is the order different for Arcane mages with the new expansion? Can someone post the order for Arcane please?

My experience thus far has been:
1. Intellect
2. Hit
3. Spellpower
4. Haste
5. Crit
5. Mastery

Though I'm not certain of the exact priorities of Crit and Mastery
