Hi there just curious about a thing with pet dmg
Is is worth it going 1 point to carful aim and 1 to sic em and going 1 point for Wild hunt and 1 for shark atack on pets tree?
Forgot to mention i have a cat

How do we can use it then ?
I tryed the addon "Shadowcraft Tools" from Curse gaming, but we I copy the text from "/shadowcraft export" into the "import" section of the web page, nothing appends ...

Yes, it's a self buff, so you are correct in the assumption that switching targets will have no effect on FS.

Remember that BT is also buffed in 4.06 (by around 30%); I see no reason to move it lower in the priority list.

How much loss is to have 16.90% of hit rating below hit cap compared to having it being over the hit cap with 17.5% reducing haste for 50 rating points? - Is getting hit cap that much more important than anything elase, or we can ignore some of the loss close to 17%?

Anyone compared Simulationcraft results (latest beta) with Mew? The difference I got for my feral cat is almost 2k dps (Mew is higher)...not sure why...

An easy rotation for a 1,2,3,4. Goes Crusader Strike, Judgement, Templar's Verdict, Then Exorcism when lit up then rinse and repeat you can add avenging wrath etc to it that's just the basic version.

I'm curious about how you evaluate [Prestor's Talisman of Machination]. I got it last night and FD shows it as over a 100dps increase over Essence of the Cyclone even though crit shows as being better than haste for me. Both of them have the same uptime (20%)

Great job Melthu,


With that I have an opinion.
You say Leatherworking is the best profession, but I would challenge that.

Stamina gained from Professions:
LW = 155 (195-40)
JC = 123(303 -180{60*3 Stamina})
BS = 120 (60*2 Stamina)
Inc = 120 (shoulder enchant)
(Other professions share the 120 factor, I used scribe as a draw from a hat)

Alone, Leatherworking beats all other professions however, if you combine Blacksmithing and Jewelcrafting you get more stamina than any other combination of Professions.

Blacksmithing gives you 120 stamina OR 202 Stamina when combine with Jewelcrafting. No other profession combination gives this bonus, moreover; a 3rd gem that increases it to 303 Stamina, which you increase 41 stam to a prior +60 stamina gem.

Math I did below to explain the numbers.

LW + BS = 120 + 195 = 315
Explaination:
120 from the two socket bonuses, assuming you place 60*2 Stamina.
195 from the bracer enchant.

JC + BS = 202 + 120 + 41 = 363
Explaination:
202 is from Blacksmithing sockets gemmed with Chimera gems.(101 Stam)
120 are the two gems that WOULD'VE been 101 but, because you have 2 extra sockets, these remain unchanged and stay 60.
41 You change a socket that has a 60 stamina by putting in a 101 and gain +41 stamina.

This totals to 363, that no other profession combination can compete with in Stamina gain.

Essentially I'm factoring that there are 3 gems in Jewelcrafting that would've been changed without Blacksmithing. Because of Blacksmithing only 1 gem is being changed.

Opinions?

I've been debating this to myself for a while and finally want some feedback on it.

I would be interested in seeing the profiles used and the output. The last time I looked, the difference between the tools wasn't that big especially when comparing Mew's Simulation model. In a perfect world output for a basic tank and spank encounter should be near identical with same configurations.

My reasoning behind that is, 303 Stam or 180.

With Blacksmithing, 2 additional sockets are added to your armor not included before, so 202 stamina is knocked off, leaving 101 which is a 41 point increase from 60 stamina.

Without JC, with BS alone, you would have +300 stamina for 3 regular sockets and +2 Sockets from BS

If you have JC as a BS, you would gain 2 sockets to place your 101 gems into leaving the 2 OTHER sockets that inside the gear already alone.

(Example)

Chest has 2 sockets - If you didn't have BS, you would place 2 101 stam into it instead of +60.

Now you have BS, Those 2x 60 gems are left alone and you place 101x2 gems into Bracer and gloves. Understand? Does this make sense?

It took me a lot of time to think of how to explain this and probably requires a lot of thought before an intelligent response could happen.

Reading the above posts, I realize that Alchemy has a close tie with BS and JC but, I think as gear progressively gets better as well, since Heroic Putricide gear is considered, the Alch Trinket probably isn't as reliable as JC / BS combo.
