I have been running some setups on the Combat sheet.
And im kinda confused.
How good is the T7 4set bonus really for a combat rogue?
With the gear i use i have with 2set t7 bonus:
4000ap
41%crit
310hit
Expertise cap.
I get like say 6k dps on the sheet.

How ever if i swap so i use 4set t7 i get:
3850ap
38%crit
255hit
Expertise cap.

With that gear the sheet says i would get around 150dps more.

Is that really right?
Is the t7 set bonus that strong that its worth keeping ?

Ahhhh, thanks.

question Splot what dps you put out on a boss fight i saw you gear on the armory and its kinda equal to mine so i was wondering , thanks ^^

That is Satrina Buff Frames setup to display certain buffs/debuffs. It's sort of like NeedToKnow, but I found that buggy and not quite what I wanted.

The addons I use are:

Align (type /align to make a grid on your screen for positioning addons)
Aloft (custom nameplates)
Auctioneer Complete Package (Auction House and tooltip improvements)
Bartender4 (action bars)
BigWigs (boss mod)
BTex (panels for bottom of screen with nice skins)
ButtonFacade and all extra skin packs (skins for bartender and buffs etc)
Clearfont2 and extra font pack (change fonts)
Cowtip (nice tooltip mod)
DoubleWide (quest window double wide)
ErrorMonster (eliminate/redirect error msgs)
FlightMap
Gladius (arena unit frame)
Grid (raid frame)
HandyNotes (put notes on map)
HandyNotes_Guild
Lagbar
LightHeaded (quest helper)
MagicRunes (dk addon)
Mapster (better map)
MiksScrollingBattleText (scrolling combat text)
NeedToKnow (bars/timers for whatever you specify)
Omen (threat meter)
OmniCC (cooldown counter on your buttons)
oRA2 (ct_raidassist like mod)
Pitbull (unit frames)
Quartz (cast bar, swing timer etc)
RatingBuster (item level on tooltip)
Recount (damage meter and much more)
SatrinaBuffFrame (best buff frames)
SexyMap (makes your minimap sexy)
SharedMedia (more textures/fonts etc)
SharedMediaAdditionalFonts
Talented (Changes Talent Point and Glyph and allows importing/applying directly from the web)
TomTom (gps)
TrainWhistle (tells you who dropped the annoying train so you can kick them from the raid)
Xloot (Customizable loot window)
Xloot_Group (Customizable group loot window)
XRS (create bars for pertinent raid information)

I am currently running

51/10/10

My (Boss) rotation is IT,PS,DS,Pest,DCX2,DS,HSX8
My (AOE) rotation is IT,PS,DS,Pest,DCX2,DS,BBX8
i do 5k base dps on dummies, completely unbuffed.

test it out, need feed back.

You don't really go into this specifically in your post, but as of 3.1 it seems to me and I've been told by quite a few friends who also play locks that you would get the most DPS out of Demonology/Destruction build (personal preferences.)

But looking at this thread, I haven't played any build related to demonology in awhile, only affliction before 3.1

My questions are:
What's a specific rotation, as I see in your main post you only go into incinerates, DoTs, and soul fire, but where does the conflagarate play in this rotation ?
Also as I'm relatively new to this spec, my guess is the pet you would use is an imp for raids.

If you would like I would like some advice on any gear advances, here is a link to my armory:
The World of Warcraft Armory

As of right now I am really confused with the whole 3.1 patch up to now I've been using the affliction build to progress into Ulduar with my old guild, but it seems I am not putting out the maximum amount of DPS I could be.

Relatively I know these are pretty dumb questions, but wouldn't hurt to answer them.

Thanks in advance to any advice given about my gear or my questions answered.

Addons:

This is mine, SQUEAK v3:



The only part missing here due to no combat being on is that under the Shield-charges mod, and stretching from Grid to the right edge of my own frame, is Quartz.


Important mods (there's a host of tiny ones you can't see):
Bartender4
Quartz
Grid + Clique
ItemRack
kgPanels
oUF + custom oUF_SQUEAK layout
TipTac
elkBuffBars
ShieldsUp
Squeenix
Prat

The usual: oRA2, BigWigs, sThreatMeter2, Skada Damage Meter

ty tempers and kaan for your input
it just seams the tool tip is misleading i knew that it didnt work before witht he aoedamage, but since 3.1 went live and alot of changes happened i thought maybe this might of change.
oh well back to the drawing board to find better talent points in the top tier fury tree

That is not best in slot gear...........

i just wanted to throw a few short questions.
i'm planning to offtank, my gear isn't that shiny... so i'm concerned about my tps, a lot. i want my spec for max tps and possibly cat (in the middle of the fight\before boss) so i can dps with the same spec (saving other spec for healing, because i might heal a bit here and there when i'm asked).

Something like this. i tried to take most important survival talent while skipping those that our mt will take (demo shout, imp. tc) and getting dps talents. unfortunately i'm very poor at math... i have almost zero idea how do i compare "king of the jungle" and "improved mangle" in terms of tps (keeping in mind i want them for cat from time to time...).

also should i skip shredding attacks (-2 rage on lacerate for 2 talent points seems not worth it for tps boost, rage is almost never an issue) or take it (actually very nice talent for cat dps).

ps. excuse me for my english, it's not my native language i might have a lot of mistakes in my post. i double checked the post thou.
pps. took imp. motw. because i love it, 40 energy isn't a lot, while imp. motw. helps in 10 mans\heroics.

First of all, Hi EJ! First post here =)

Now, I was using the 12/0/59 spec for a while in the OP's thread, but I decided to respec back to 17/0/54, more specifically this (got it from Clozern of Ensidia)

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...6&version=9767

I did a bit of testing, and found myself doing approximately the same DPS with both specs. I think in the long run the 17/0/54 will be a more viable spec than 12/0/59 + ghoul frenzy, because then you don't have to concentrate on wether your Ghoul Frenzy is up or not (considering that with 12/0/59, at least for me, my ghoul did 12% of my damage) and you can just focus on basic rotation/prioritizing. If you're using 12/0/59 + ghoul frenzy, and you don't have ghoul frenzy up, it's a pretty big DPS loss, in my opinion.

On the contrary, I haven't tried other specs besides 12/0/59 that have been mentioned in this thread. As far as 12/0/59 goes, however, personally I think the basic 17/0/54 is a bit better. The other debatable thing about that spec, which I haven't tested yet, is if Ghoul Frenzy with 17/0/54 may be a DPS improvement? If you take that 1 point in Improved Unholy Presence and put it in Ghoul Frenzy, maybe that will work even better.

Nice thread overall, but I think regardless that enchants are "obvious" you should still include which enchants are suggested for each slot, since not everyone knows which enchants are the best for their gear.

Cheers

I am not sure if this is allowed at the moment, but seeing that there is already 300 odd worldwide kills on yogg-saron, I would like to ask for this particular fight, is there any advantage to spawning an extra guardian right off the bat in phase 1. The reasoning to this for my guild while learning phase 1 is to speed up the pace and avoid the last wave spawn which comes in a pair of guardians. But we are not totally sure if it really works out like that.

i am wanting to raise a healer to go with rl friends hunter what is best support healer for mm or suv hunter thanks

is it true 8% is hit cap now?

Here is a WWS of me and a nother DK's dps on deconstructor.

Wow Web Stats


Syklol - unholy 10/61

Brackendk - unholy 3/10/58

both using same rotations, however, i had to break off to help with adds on one side and pull a big add off of a mage back to the OT.

Hi this is my first post here on the EJ forums and I would just want to say thank you for all the help this forums have given me so far!

OK back to subject, I've managed to get my hands on Vulmir from Thorim (178 dps mace) and for offhand I have the Stonerender (178dps 1.6speed) and Bloodcrush Cudgel (163dps 1.5speed). My question for you is which of the offhands should I use?

I think right now to pull affliction off well and stay towards the top of the meters you really need to get some nice ulduar upgrades including the two piece t8 bonus to make the spec effective. At first I did very well with 0-40-31 until the nerf bat for conflag. The second I got my two piece bonus and sash of ancient power and the scale of fates trinket, I switched immediately over to affliction where I have been able to rip the meters on most fights. Affliction will only scale better and better with gear so give it some time. For the time being there are definately some nice hybrid specs you can work with and can look up in the simcraft 3.1 warlock thread that "Zakalwe" posted. Once you've accomplished maintaing some decent ulduar gear and a two piece tier 8 bonus thats when you should be able to get affliction to shine again. Hope this helps.

I've been seeing a lot of locks on my realm with conflag spec, now I know that I've already asked whether conflag spec is better than Felguard, and I was told that it wasn't, but people are saying that in Ulduar which is not pet friendly at all, it's easier to keep an imp alive than a Felguard. That being the case would it be worthwhile to go conflag over felguard as both specs require the buffs from the pet.

I don't think there is a pure 'best stats' method - hence what this discussion is entirely about...
