Elemental profession question

My Orc shaman currently have Alchemy/herbalism. I've been thinking about dropping herb for Jewelcrafting.

I've been a fan of macroing Blood Fury with Life blood but wondering if the benefit of 'better' gem surpass that Lifeblood haste(480) on 2 min CD?

Stats Priorities

Hello

Did anyone already calculated how stat priorities change in the patch for SMF?
I saw something a bit time ago for TG, with the Crit/Mastery build.

But now that SMF will probably sexy enough to play with it, i asked myself hows about there with the
stat priorities?

Mastery should be less attractive for SMF than for TG.
So maybe Hit is again the better stat than mastery for SMF.

But that's just some thoughts from myself, does anyone have some numbers about this?


Greetings

As affliction, assuming 5% crit debuff is taken care of by someone else, what's the concession between SB and Drain Life as filler?

Hi all, Have a qns to ask. I have tried using FD to do some tests
1. Hurricane + Fluid Death
2. Fluid Death + Essence of the Cyclone
3. Hurricane + Essence of the Cyclone

Having Hit capped and haste around 1.64 Cobra cast.

I seem to have better result using the first combi (different by 100-120dps using FD). However I have also checked on some forum and website mentioning that essence of the cyclone is consider better. Now I am confuse if I should use it.

Any advise would be good I am trying to see if I can push the dps some more.

Wouldn't it be more useful to focus on empowering our most hard hitting abilities with critical/mastery?

Also since SMF should be raid viable at worst, I'd like to think DMC Hurricane be more effective ....
Where did you see anyone saying anything about hit stacking? It seems pretty well agreed that the stat weights will be Crit > Mastery > Hit > haste

I do not understand at ALL why you would want to do this. Berserker Rage is basically a way to gain enrage and enable the use of Raging Blow, when you have no other options. Deathwish IS an enrage, and therefore allows the use of Raging Blow any way. By using Berserker Rage during DW, I would think you gain NOTHING.

I would be happily proved wrong though.

Basically, assn rogues won't be getting Dark Intent. However, in response to your question on hunters, it is actually possible that you will be a better choice.


Edit: I did notice that the author said they used SimCraft to model it. There has been a recent discussion on the validity for SC and rogues. Not sure if this will effect it or not.
Just a warning. that post on MMO is horrible for DI priorities. Putting SV hunters so low. Best dps choices are Aff Lock > Spriest > SV Hunter > UH DK > Anything else. Best Healer choices are Resto druids if anyone uses these anymore.

You would gain the 6 rage from the glyph, and effectively lose nothing as by the time DW wore off berserker rage would be off cd again

scarlet fever

doesn't scarlet fever add a 4th disease to the amount of damage done by scourge strike?

-- it allows you to give up healing time in low damage phases to have 15% increased HPS in high damage phases
-- it adds a tiny bit of dps

Then you weigh the importance of that flexibility against what you lose by speccing it. It's a personal preference thing, since the value of flexibility can't be accurately measured.
Perhaps I'm glancing over something here, but without Atonement, it seems like Smiting would be a bit wasteful, even if it does give you a burst later on. Especially given many Disc priests I've talked to (no numbers to back this, only word of mouth, I apologize) AA isn't all that wonderful, despite what it reads on the label. Holy isn't exactly my cup of tea, but just at a glance it looks like AA without Atonement is going to be pressuring Holy priests to try to add more damage rather than focus on healing. I could be reading this entirely wrong, however. Just my 2c.

Thanks to Mastery you would get more then 6 Rage..more like 7-9 depending on your Mastery.

Can you update the 4.0.6 numbers using CharDev as the origin if/when the BiS gearing changes?

Keep up the good work.
