I'm not saying I spam it, but it is very effective for a big heal!! On another note, I've reforged some items from Crit to Haste. As from what I read, should I undo those and reforge from mastery to haste instead?

Going to try out using Succubus tonight. I switched to Imp and my DPS was about 3-4k less on Nefarian than it was before 4.0.6 (when I used Succubus). Also thought about taking Curse of Exhaustion and putting 2 in Fel Synergy since my pet likes to die.

The talent tooltip for mana tide says it's raid wide.

Oh, sorry I hadn't realized, could have sworn there was another PvE 1.4, must have been mistaken.

Now that Mastery is ranked above Expertise, does that mean that you should ignore reaching the expertise cap if mastery items/reforge is available?

e.g. you have an item with 208 expertise and 208 haste and you are well below the expertise cap. Should you reforge the expertise to mastery (provided you're hit capped)?

Untrue. The monstrosity spawned today with 24.5% HP for us. I came out of the bubbled casted Corruption and there wasn't other damage on the boss until then (no debuffs etc).

When you have your cd's up (AW/Zeal) Do you follow the CS>TV>CS>TV....

Or is a greater gain to do CS>TV>HoW>CS>TV>filler>CS>TV

Meaning for the second filler if you don't have HoW up either an exo or a second TV if you get a DP proc.

I would imagine it being a dps loss if you used the second filler on anything other than HoW, exo, or a DP proc.

Unless you have a 3 sec cooldown CS (or approaching), you keep the same rotation.

One with Nature buffs Aspect of the Hawk. There is no way to modify Hunters Mark anymore.

Do you think it would be worth to skill 3 points in Dark Arts instead of Demonic Embrance/Fel Synergy
and switch to

1.) to Felhunter. As Glyph i would replace Lash of Pain with CoA Glyph.
or 2.) use Imp and the Glyph for the Imp with 20% dmg bonus instead of Lash of Pain and maybe use @ 25% Felhunter.

What you think?
Thank you in advance for your feedbacks.

Snorre

PS: Anyone got the dps numbers for Demon Soul using a IMP/Fel Hunter/Sucubus?

Mana Tide Totem has been redesigned. The totem no longer multiplies the Spirit of those affected by it. It instead gives a flat amount of Spirit equal to 400% of the casting shaman's Spirit, exclusive of short-term Spirit buffs affecting the shaman when the totem is dropped. In addition, its effects are now raid-wide.

I guess the question is then, if you cannot support the focus cost of 3xCrS + 1 Arcane every single time, is a 4th cobra worth delaying explosive?

this evening I´ve played a few bosses as SV and was very pleased to see that the "nerf" didn´t hit the spec as hard as it has been estimated. Recently picked the 4 piece bonus, and with a cast time of 1.51 seg on CoS, I found plenty room to squeze an AS now and then or a fourth CoS. Arcane hits like a truck now (25k average crit), so I didn´t really bothered about delaying ES up to 1 sec every cycle. In fact, I made my personal DPS record on atramedes, 21k, while in Gong duty, and almost the same dps as prepatch in nefarian (20k prepatch 19200 post patch). All in all, SV can still be in the top5 DPS on any fight, even single target, and for movement or AoE fights it will beat MM easily.
