At least on Archimonde you could blink from high altitude directly to the ground. However, in the Magmaw room I experienced 0-distance blinking (i.e. a bug) sometimes, which might be related to the boundary between the intact and damaged ground in the center. So be careful trying to blink over that boundary (I noticed this only when going from left to right, though). There has always been a problem when blink over steps such as stairs etc. but I felt it worth to mention, since the discussion on blink in that room already started.

I have been playing around with exemplars spreadsheet and looks like currently on live the 4pc 365 ilvl pvp set beats 2pc pvp + 2pc t11. Will this change with the new patch, with Templars verdict having a higher priority and thus making the 2pc t11 bonus more valuable?

I realise this maybe hard to answer as we dont know the final value of mastery but if anyone have any input it would be greatly appreciated.

This would be nice to know if someone hast tryed them. Yesterday i got them [Claws of Agony][Claws of Torment],
but im using a TG spec right now with [Akirus the Worm-Breaker] (with Landslide) + [Foe Reaper] (with Hurricane).
Considering that on my server the Maelstorm Crystals are really expensive (1200 -1500 g) its not cheap to enchant them twice with landslide just to try them out. Personally i like TG better(and next week ill probably get another epic 2-hander anyways) but if the set bonus(1000 haste) is so good i would be considering to spec SMF.

You'll still appear instantly on the ground as if you had blinked while being on the ground. This is not ordinary blink behavior and it can save you time, which is valuable if you are one of those designated to AoE the parasites. I tested it just once out of curiosity and it worked. Obviously, it's still better to blink before you actually get thrown into the air.

This is ordinary blink behavior currently - its not just on that fight. I believe it was one of the patches prior to Cata where I first noticed it but I use it all the time if I am in the air and need to get onto the ground quickly. Lately its been useful when trying to cut the corner and jump down in BWD where the elevator is because if you aim incorrectly you'll hit the invisible wall and get pushed out into the middle of the room but if you wait until you get a little lower you just blink and you are back on the ground rather than flying out towards the lava.

I don't believe the behavior is intended, but you can test it yourself anytime, just slowfall and jump off something. I have noticed sometimes if you are too high it does not work (I like to fall a lot off my mount when I'm running around doing arch and screw around with various ways to not die) so there is a limit to how high you need to be but I have not tested to try and determine about what that limit is. To confirm again I just jumped off the wall in front of Org and blinked to the ground while being well above it.

Obviously this is in reference to DW.

I was wondering the exact same thing, do you have sims you could run n test it out? But I think it only seems to be a bigger dps gain because of the earlier more frequent KM procs, which at the beginning of fights DPS fluctuates alot before it averages out fully. I'm tempted to do about 15minutes of dummy attacks at Ebon Hold in both presences 2-3 times each to get a clear value.

Well I would have thought that considering our drastically reduced hp generation rate on ptr that an extra 10 seconds on inquisition would be a lot more attractive now from 4pc. 2pc is a no brainer now.

Afraid I neither have the brains nor time to do any maths to back this up. I shall leave that to the professionals.

And impatience of youth, as stated quite a few times on here, is underbudget for its str (1926/2min). As str > all by quite a margin, you should go for heart of rage/license to slay depending on your weightings of hit and exp atm and dmc:h.

i would say, and a few other people have noticed this as well, there is a distinct lack of hit on many 359 pally pieces so license may be a better one. Expertise seems to be on everything, especially stuff with mastery which this time next week, we may be stacking as best secondary.

Now that someone discovered that Conviction only increases self-healing (see here) - what will be our new cookie-cutter build? Anything wrong with this one?

Spårt · 01/14/11, 9:40 AM

Off Hands are getting a nerf in the 100+ SP enchant.

Down from 100 to 40, according to Most recent patch notes.

Will this effect staff or dagger+off-hand, or will most people just stay how they were?

Before this patch a Dagger+offhand was the way to go because of the 100+ SP enchant, but now with the nerf, i may switch back to staff for an upgrade.

What are your thoughts?

No, FFB's glyph is still better than IL's glyph because of Ignite. But I think that keeping the DOT up can be a loss with the upgrade of FB.

My question, is 2/3 Np & 3/3 Ignite still better ?

Rexi · 01/14/11, 10:22 AM

Just quick questions.
After patch Fury warriors are gemming str aight?
Should we still reforge hit for white cap, or stay on lets say 20%~ hit and reforge crit after that.

Also if someone has calculated some "dps points" for each stat would be awesome so ppl could maximize their gear, since atm for example rings in this content are horrible(off stat wise).

If I understand you the right way, what you want to do is the following:
Run into Fight in UP, burst out all your runes and then switch back to FP. Right? So in fact, you're trading the 15% more DPS and increased RP gain against a 33% faster GCD. Sounds good so far. BUT: switching presence takes a GCD!
Assuming it takes you 4 GCD's to get rid of all your runes, it will take you 4 seconds in UP and 6 Seconds in FP (BS, BS, OB, OB) plus the 1.5 Seconds to get back to FP, wich results in only beeing .5 seconds faster. So you get 12% speed increase and loose 15% Dmg plus some RP. In addition, you loose all your RP by switching presence.

Not a good trade at all
