So Frostfire Bolt would have a mana cost reduction in accordance with that of Fireball.

I can pretty much guarantee, with appropriate bribery of our locks, that I'll have Dark Intent. With the mastery buffs coming, I'm thinking this combination ought to push Frostfire filler ahead of Fireball.

AFAIK, the sims don't suppport Dark Intent or the new mastery values. Anyone with math skills able to provide some input?
Fireball will still be far ahead due to ignite munching from the frostfire bolt dot critting.

Forgive me if im missing something (Please quote it or direct me to the thread) but I am seeing a lot of posts about haste and nothing about mastery for Holy. What is everyones opinion? For tank healing it seems rather useless, spamming heal, and when the tank takes to much damage a few flashes and a greater. Once the tanks back in your comfort zone you start doing your heal spam.

With that said if you use a GH, and mastery goes off doing xx amount and you go back to your heal it devalue's your mastery HOT.. Is it just me or is it useless? Or am I honestly missing something.

Ive noticed on your chardev models, you can't use the new meta gems that are being introduced, so you dont have a active meta in the models.

Do you think this will affect the best in slot lists at all as it may cause crit to be even more valued over other stats, and therefore some items that are a close choice at the moment may sway the other way?

Maybe you could add Lightweave Embroidery to the enchant list for completeness , especially with it being changed to 580 Int instead of 580 spellpower

I'm really curious what a SMF BiS list would look like - I might end up SMF just because of a lot of 2h users being in my guild, and wondering if it has different stat priorities than the TG specs; from what I can tell with the low hit TG spec, you can simply swap off the 2h weapons, put on 1h's and still have the 8% hit and 26 expertise with no problem; but is there anything else that should be changed? And what weapons should we be aiming for, with the choices of a Al'Akir sword, Soul Blade (I believe it's the hit/matesry BoE from BoT?), and Lava Spine?

Also lets take a look at raid healing to get the most out of your mastery HOT it would be wise to use CoH as a opener for PoH. (But its recommended to use the glyph to add an additional 20% over time.) The HOT PoH creates, makes your mastery hot lower and pretty much useless. I mean I understand that every little helps but they could of came up with something better.

Im just looking for some advice, and to clear up some of this cloud I have.

Mastery Proc Question

Hey guys, long time reader first time poster..

So I have a quick question concerning mastery procs, specifically on the 359 trinket Theralion's Mirror. When this thing procs and you receive your 1926 boost to mastery, does this affect all current dots on the target or do you have to throw up new dots to correctly gain the now increased mastery bonus. Another way of asking this is can our current dots suddenly tick for more considering sudden increases to mastery. Thanks!

1. Do you think the next patch (considering the actual PTR) is going to make combat equal with assasination in raid ?

2. How much dps i loose if i choose Quickening talent over Ruthlessness ? Considering that i win 10 agility in the switch because of changing enchant on my boots (25 agi + speed -> 35 agi). I think a lot about this change in recent times because I try to increase my survivability in raids. Now I'm afraid it makes me lose too much dps.

Switching from TG to SMF

I have a question that I really haven't been able to find an answer on. I am currently experimenting with changing over from TG to SMF after finding a couple of really cheap soul blades on the opposite faction. Until now I have been TG 8/31/2 with everything possible reforged to hit to improve my white damage. Now that I am switching to SMF my hit cap should be appreciably lower but I am trying to determine what to reforge for now. I am at my 21 point experise cap. I am thinking once I am at hit and experise cap I should go for crit, but not sure whether I should start considering mastery at this point? Note if you look at my armory profile my gems are currently messed up a little as I was swapping around some items of gear and am going to need to re-gem to be able to use my chaotic meta again.

You are totally missing something. The mastery hot is actually quite good for tank healing especially with the large health pools. The buffer is similar to a druids lifebloom spell ticking every second.

The HoT never gets devalued only recalculated. It works similar to a mages ignite spell (which in the past use to suffer a bad fate of recalculation). If I heal with a gheal and place a 1k per tick echo on the target then follow up with a heal for 8k the hot will be refreshed to 6 seconds and recalculated to include the remaining portion from the greater heal (say 3 seconds worth or 3k + the new % of mastery from heal). So no, the hot is not wasted. The OP of this thread values mastery slightly ahead of haste for burst healing and double the value of haste for combined burst/sustained healing. Mastery is a DIRECT increase to our direct healing spells that costs no additional mana. The only argument is not about if mastery is bad or not only if it is better or not than haste. The community is pretty much split with math and arguments on both sides. Either way, haste and mastery are both good for holy priests with mastery by far being better for tank healing than haste. With the ability to stack serendipity with a serenity heal/buff and the crit modifier to heal chakra, Mastery excels at tank healing since one of the only spells that doesn't benefit from our mastery (renew) is refreshed at no mana cost once placed on the tank. (PoM is also not affected by mastery but is also getting a buff to the first target in the next patch.)

The best advice is to thoroughly go through the first post and most of your questions will be answered.

As for raid healing, the glyph of PoH is an additional HoT placed on the targets of PoH and is neither affected by mastery nor affects mastery in any way. The mastery hot is calculated based on the heal amount of the prayer. Unlike the PoH glyph hot if you cast 2 poh's in succession the glyphed hot is not recalculated and only reapplied. So you do lose the initial glyphed hot but not the initial mastery hot.

Mastery is good also for raid healing as it once again directly increases your HPM and HPS without any affect on mana cost.

Demo lock. A few questions.

1. Are buffs for cast-time DoTs snapshotted at the start of the cast or the end of the cast? Because I always throw out a SF at the beginning of a fight and then immediately begin to cast Immolate before the bolt has hit the target (assuming I'm not running in) and I'm never sure if the ISF buff is taken into account (as the bolt normally hits before the Immo cast is done).

2. Why do affliction and destruction (according to the threads) use Infernal for both AoE and single-target? Why is Demo any different in that respect?

With mastery getting buffed for demo, will Theralions Mirror HC increase in value for Demo Locks? I heard that it has to proc right before using Meta to benefit from the proc at all...meaning you would have to delay meta for the proc...

So, with all this being said, what is your current strategy for gearing up?
Which stats do you prefer? And will you change that for 4.0.6?
How do you reforge your gear?
