Read the first page for the answer to all of those questions. It's usually smart to read the entire forum before you ask questions.

Glyph of Pyroblast vs. Glyphs of Living Bomb

Wouldn't Glyph of LB be better than Glyph of Pyro? With the lower crit rates than in the past, HS procs MUCH less.

This is a parse from the top Fire Mage on WOL on the BH 25 man fight:
World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis

Now, this Mage is from Paragon. Realistically, his/her crit rating will be better than the average mages. Yet, Living Bomb still did 80,000 more damage throughout the duration of the fight, and they only had nine HS procs in the two and a half minute fight.

Also, we keep LB up 100% of the time. It seems to me like Glyph of LB may be better until higher crit ratings. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Anyone that knows how I can check what items that are "Best in slot" for my Holy Paladin.

But there was a week or so where a few of us were basically printing money. I'm sure the timing will be different on different servers, so keep your eyes open.

With the latest hotfix the Lifebound Alchemist Stone can no longer be disenchanted.

just a quick question if anyones done any modelling for this or checked out how it will have a value in the PTR before I go and plunk 25-30k for one. if it will be devalued after the patch goes live and such.

halo guys
i have a question

is it right if i have (for example) 11.78% mastery it is = 11% so i need to get whole numbers (%) to get profit ?

and same question about other classes because i heard some classes have WHOLE bonuses (for example: SP: 1.5% and Rsham 2% so rsham gets mastery bonus even with a half% mastery (sham have 12.58% mastery for exam and gets bonus from 12.50)

sorry for my bad eng but i hope u understood what i mean

I believe we are waiting to see what the changes to HoW are and how they impact it's place in the rotation. That will dictate what the value of the trinket ends up being in the next patch, so I would personally hold off until more info is confirmed.

If you check the numbers it shows that on a typical encounter you only need 1 pyro crit to surpass the extra damage from LB glyph.
The only exception is halfus because you have 3 LBs ticking away the entire fight.

I've started levelling my lock a bit (haven't played him since TBC) so catching up on mechanic changes which are significant!

With the impending haste nerf, I'm thinking of aiming for Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft and using Drain Life filler with SB only on Nightfall procs. If I understand the simulation data posted, the drain filler rotation has a slight edge anyway so aren't the 3 points in Bane just wasted?

Edit: Just figured out how to find the talents used in the sim and they've also dropped Bane, so I guess then it's just a case of where you want to put your optional talent points - increased health or increased Felhunter dmg for the execute phase.

Oh no! I would've stocked up on maelstrom crystals if I'd known this was coming. I've probably made and DE'd 50-100 Alchemist stones in the last month or so, and I'd expect that other alch/enchanters have been doing the same. I'm sure the price of maelstrom crystals is going to go through the roof once this supply is cut off.

Why do I feel so squishy?
Was doing BoT halfus and BWD-the trash mobs right before magmaw last night. I will be at full health half way through and then I drop like a rock. I guess I got hit back to back a few time and didnt get the dodges needed. I also feel soft during herioc run. I believed I grinded out all the gears I needed from herioc runs so I think its jus a gemming/enchanting issue. I need some advise how I can make my bear less squishy.

Heres my character
