Hey hamlet great work here but can you get wrathcalcs to work for openoffice for once :X (as I use a mac so is the only option). So prepatch by using the dummys I found figurine jewelled serpent to be > HoI(normal) and Theralions Mirror(normal) post patch there all pretty similar using trial on the dummy but this could be rng and also the greater int on theralions mirror will scale with raid buffs. So do you know a definite answer which is best out of them three trinkets post patch?

Thanks a lot for the feedback on the previous page Liar.

imo I feel the changes they made to try and make blood plague more important really just made things feel more clunky.

Crimson Scourge would make sense if it was a free BB not based on having BP on your target (just 10% chance on hit). It feels extremely lackluster, especially when we aren't really looking for a free BB when taking bosses anyways. To keep BP on the target up 24/7, you would have to sacrifice an U rune and mess up your UF pair in return for 30 seconds of "Maybe you will get something you don't even really need, or want" which just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe I'm missing something.

Can crimson scourge proc for you off of other DK's BP? I'm at work so I can't test. If that's true, then it feels like there isn't even a reason to outbreak the target if someone else will be providing you free blood boils/diseases. That still doesn't change the fact though that everything blood boil provides on a single target is pretty worthless (threat/damage).

On top of that they removed scarlet fever from the blood boil effect? What are they trying to accomplish?

I agree with your idea for 30 second CD outbreak. Imo they should JUNK the crimson scourge talent and turn it into a talent with max 2 points that reduces the CD of outbreak by (15/30) seconds. I assume they have it on a 60 second CD to limit unholy/frost from just using that to apply (however I could be wrong because I haven't dpsed with either of those trees since stage 1 of ICC).

That way we don't have extra points floating around, it's a viable change to have the 10% damage reduction come from BP and we can also keep it up for the raid the entire time.

Until then I really dislike the 30 seconds of 10% damage reduction we will be missing which you could easily keep up when it was attached to BB.

So I will probably end up with a talent tree that looks like this.

I don't have 2/2 Blood Parasite because personally I find them extremely annoying (something I can't control) although I understand their viability in raids.
I like the 2 points in endless winter because I often find myself needing a reliable interrupt (in raids/heroics) and I also like bringing Aboms Might to the raid.

I would like a few players opinions on LB as a tanking CD. I understand it's position as a major taking CD currently in end game but does anyone else feel like it just doesn't belong? I personally can't stand the CD and would like to see it be moved elsewhere or re-designed.

So I just got essence of the cyclone 272. And now I´m wondering what the best trinket combo would be, Unheeded Warning or Fluid Death?

Thanks in advance ^^.

I've been trying to follow the entire hunter forums in order to see what the highest dps spec is. With no avail. Has MM pulled out ahead of Survival or are they both pretty competitive? With 4.0.6, I figured there would be a change.

Can you tell me the exact hit cap for a frost DW Dk (including NoCS 3/3) for normal raids ? Because i currenlty have 14% hit rating and with that my chance to miss 88 level NPCs is around 13% (for normal attacks)

Consider says all this in the OP, not sure what you are getting at?

How does Scaleslicer stack up against Uhn'agh Fash, the Darkest Betrayer? Would Scaleslicer be a good weapon to use in the time being on the way to aquiring Uhn'agh? because my guild has not yet downed Cho'Gall and I didnt know if that was a solid temporary OH.

any help is appreciated, Thanks.

Hit > Haste, Expertise > Crit. Scaleslicer is superior, until heroic Uhn'agh. I've got Uhn'agh and would love to get Scaleslicer to drop

Lag is always a factor I suppose, and whatever time in between casts you're failing to take advantage of. Is that to say that the pre-t11 4 set 1.67 cobra rotation is flawed, because it allows no room for error/latency?

MM did in fact pull ahead of the other two, and SV and BM are pretty close to one another now. No one has said so explicitly in recent posts, which threw me off at first too, but then I thought to check the Hunter FAQ and OP's (original posts) of the individual spec threads, because those are usually kept updated.

Considering there are no other PVE 1.4 daggers of that ilvl your options are pretty clear.
