Well, i am replying as i kinda disagree with what i see all ppl having in their talent trees and none ever told me why really.. Here's my point: I find the 2 points in Pandemic a bit useless, why?? Well here is the tooltip:

Pandemic Rank 2
Reduces the global cooldown of your Bane and Curse spells by .5 sec.

Your Drain Soul has a 100% chance to refresh the duration of your Unstable Affliction spell when dealing damage on targets below 25% health.



So even if i get to use DS to refresh UA it can only happen at or below 25% health of the boss/mob/whatever. Also, I can refresh the UA with the lovely Fel Flame:

Fel Flame Level 85
6% of base mana 40 yd range

Instant cast

Deals 221 to 255 Shadowflame damage to an enemy target, increasing the duration of Immolate or Unstable Affliction by 6 sec.

Wich seems to be extremely usefull even for Demo, as u can use it on the move and refresh either your UA or Immolation.



Now, about the fact that Pandemic reduces the global cooldown on your banes and curses, well it is not that worth taking I think, since you mainly cast them all once or maybe twice if you screw up your rotaion during the fight and in order to change targets there is the amazing Soul Swap to do the trick for ya and literally dot two targets at the same time.

I was using this tree: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

and i really can't get why i should refresh UA with FF. It's an instant cast and you may also use it right after you've cast Haunt, or even on the move. Also I am always using the Felhunter, for the Demon soul effect it has. Also with that spec/demon/glyphs I managed to become very lovely to the healers, as i am selfhealing the most and I am not a pain in the ass to heal when i want to life tap. Best encounter example is Chimaeron. With a few drain lifes i managed to stay up full time of the encounter without the having the healers to really worry about me. Some times it's not the dps, it's the stay alive factor that you must take care of.

I just started doing 10mans and I find myself running out of mana, I going to try this "HS off cd and HL spam" and see if i can manage my mana better. I like to hear from others how they work their rotations.

Hello all,

First time posting, but I want to join in on the discussion!
First off, if judging by the information provided by Swcarden is correct Mr Robot does a fine job of tuning your gear to get that ratio, so I strongly suggest trying it out. The only thing it did was remove a lot of my expertise, I've not had much in the way of threat issues, so I will see how the next few raids go without all that expertise!

I have a few things I want to discuss, directed mostly at dedicated tanks who run two specs. I spent a couple hours looking at the Prot Warrs in the top guilds and the specs they run and found that the variation is large when it comes to what appears to be single target threat and aoe spec variations.
As such, my questions are aimed at those abilities which I still haven't seen thoroughly assessed, and vary from tank to tank.

1. Is Deep Wounds viable for either aoe or single target or both? Is there evidence to support threat gains or dps increases over B&T? Is it viable WITH B&T for an AOE spec? Imagine the damage output on heroic Halfus with DW! Are its long term threat gains on par with B&T and so making it a more viable option for single target?

2. Is Bloodcraze worth it? This is one I noticed either the warrior runs it in both specs or not at all it seems. How can we judge its usefulness, is what I want to know I guess! I was running it in my spec I was using for Nef when we were learning it, sacrificing threat for survivability, but I'm not sure how to judge how helpful it is, on any encounter? Their are only a couple encounters where we are getting beaten by multiple mobs, any thoughts?

3. Safeguard, I find this very useful on some fights and on others I hardly get to use it. There are known places to use it such as Crackles, Acquiring Target, Mangle, Furious Roar, Harden Skin, etc. What are your thoughts on Safeguard? The most annoying part is trying to decide whether to run it in your AOE spec or your Single target! Or both and lose something else?! Still mulling this one over for this coming weeks raid!

Either way keep up the good work guys, the recent info about parry to dodge ratio has really been interesting and helpful, hopefully I will see some results this coming week.

Well, I do like the disc playstyle, I don't really care about the shield spam as it feels effective and with some coordination with the other healers yes it will be great, if bubbles is not what you like you can always go holy. I also don't think it needs any kind of nerf or normalization right now, we are talking about something that costs mana and not about something we can do forever, well maybe, for future tiers we might be able to spam it endless if it continues to scale as it is right now, but we use mana and not rage or energy...

I fear that disc might go back to a single target healing spec with limited tools and zero pvp power again if any change is made right now.

drop pyro an drop impact its so trash control they aint worth taking move those talents to molten shields for the love of your healers an your toons health an take the chance for clear casting saving you mana an allowing for more over all damage.
why these talents weren't recommended i'll never no just sounds like a newb move to me but if you want add control take the spec on the first page but single target damage go 6/32/3

Furthermore, what is the complete ranking of all Horde racials for DPS?

Thanks

Currently playing restoshaman (Sunami) on EU-venture Co. Cleared 12/12+ Halfus HC.
Im at a point where i'm investigating the potential of a mastery stacking itemasation.
Im keeping my haste at 790ish since im a goblin and i want to reach the otherwise 916 hastecap.
After that im making sure my crit is at a comfortable lvl for IWS and AA procs.
if thoose two priorities are reached i stack mastery... currently at about 51% increased healing from Deep healing.
Ive mainley been soaking in input from EJ and Jynus post on us forums Jynus Guide to being Pro Resto

Ive done some research on the web to find the correct formula for calculating the increased healing from mastery depending on the targets Hp. This is what ive come up with:

Formula: (1-Targets Hp%) x Deep Healing %= Increased healing%
So with my stats that would be: (1-Targets Hp%) x 50% =Increased healing %
That gives me the following table:

HP% Healing %
100% 0%
90% 5%
80% 10%
70% 15%
60% 20%
50% 25%
40% 30%
30% 35%
20% 40%
10% 45%
0% 50%

What I would wanna know is if this seems correct or not to you?

To clarify, it's 10.8% haste from gear, with both Pathing and Hunting Party/Windfury/Icy Talons?

Bad link Psi.

Actually i hate the spamming mechanics, maybe a short duration can help but I feel it a bit dangerous.

It appears that people in this forum are still anti-mastery, however more often than not, when I look at logs of "successful" Resto-Shaman, they stack Haste to their first break-point then everything goes to Mastery. When I say "successful" I mean that they perform well compared to the other healers in their group. So, not to say, "You're doing it wrong", but do any of you anti-mastery people have logs showing that you guys are pro?
