with the change to the shield block meta would it be better to use the 2% armor meta at all values of avoidance/block now?

Sui-san · 02/12/11, 6:02 PM

Despite how much I search and try to run the numbers, I'm coming up with a net loss of 5% DPS since pre-4.0.6. Would someone kindly check my numbers so I know if I've been missing something so we know the net gain/loss of DPS since pre-4.0.6 to now?

i wanted to ask if the t11 four piece bonus is worth the massive loss in spirit? i know its a good bonus, but to me it doesnt seem worth losing that much spirit.
also outa the top three trinkets, which 2 would yu recommend.. they all seem amazing

I didn't see it noted, so I thought I would throw it out there - it seems like they fixed Lunar Shower in that my stack is refreshing the instant I move at any point in the 3-second window now, instead of dropping off once it hits 1 or 2.

Thank you very much for the reply, I didn't see that I made a mistake in the talent tree in the setup

Keep up the good work here !

Confirmed that it was indeed reverted.

Curious what made them change it back so fast as very few guilds raid over the weekend so I doubt they had much data to work with.

Pretty sure it's 2s ICD between stack gains, would be nice if someone could confirm though.

Well most casters open with DoTs and my understanding was they recheck enemy debuffs every tick so is it really worth wasting a shard to soulfire? Anyway I think our demo lock opens with shadowbolt (not 100% sure though, will probably check tomorrow night).

I wouldn't be surprised if holy paladins were dropping the talent left and right and completely disregarding our "ultimate" talent. It SHOULD be more powerful than a basic move that all 3 specs (WoG) yet, this nerf made them extremely close and in most cases, LoD was inferior to WoG. Especially now that the WoG formula has been changed, I've been noticing about 25% stronger WoG healing.

What shard? If your guild does countdown on the pull, just use Soulburn and Soulharvest, so you'll have full 3 soul shard and an instant SF "on hold" on the pull.

Hello, i just got done reading the revised combat guide after the latest patch 4.0.6 and i was wondering if combat is still behind mut if so by how much? thanks

Tanknstuff · 02/13/11, 1:11 AM

To get down to it, what values(%)should I be shooting for as a prot warrior in mitigation?

Armor?
Parry?
Dodge?
Block?

Currently I'm at:
Armor: 34461
Dodge: 13.03%
Parry: 10.16%
Block: 39.17%

Any advice? Unbuffed, my HP's are 153K...

If you are able to obtain the 4 set you should be able to hit cap quite easily by reforging crit and mastery on the tier pieces and picking up off set spirit pieces. Basically hit cap is very easy in normal raid gear and the t11 4-piece is very good, so get it.
