I rather use a modifier for the SilS too, but i could see a 'minor' problem using this randomly even at fights where interrupts are not a concern, since every 20 seconds you're risking to break the sequence of double steady shot casts and ends up with less ISS time, especially if you're using 2xSS in between each focus dump ability. Again, this is situational, and most of times i find myself refreshing ISS with plenty of time left, but it can still lead to problems.

I'll check it as soon as i get home, but untill then, if by any means SilS do not break the 2 SS sequence for ISS, just ignore this post.

first time poster here but @darkerpulse i noticed the same thing taking a point from butchery so i had 3/3 vura, i ended up losing ~500 due to more downtime so i pulled one out of vura and put it back in butchery and netted about a ~200-1000 dps increase overall depending on the fight, and i am rarely rune starved unless i have bad luck RNG wise, this is the current spec i'm using and its working quite well for me overall, but that could also be due to near full non heroic bis.

Mistery Solved

Just to be clear: the 5% is a result of leather specialization which will be active at all times in a raid. And, as all raid-viable professions grant their bonus in agility, it doesn't have any bearing on which is best. That's not necessarily immediately apparent just because you pointed out it's 5% higher than expected.

Edit: This was already covered, it seems I missed a few posts. As did the above poster. Would appreciate a delete.

Is the best race for dps dependant on spec?

I was thinking Orc for demo and troll for afflic maybe goblin for destro, is this correct or is there a race superior for all specs.

Hi this is my first time posting on EJs. Sorry if this post isnt appropriate for this area. The majority of our community comes here to get help by other fellow Holy Paladins.
I've read several pages of the discussions on this topic in search for some confirmation of a haste cap. I've been unable to find any as the pages I read date back to the end of last year. I'm hoping the experts here can help make a few things clear.

I feel these are a few questions that would help the community understand their gearing processes properly.

Haste> I'd love to beable to Shock>2x HL/DL>Judgement>Free GCD for WoG/LoD but I've just realised this probably isnt possible. Could someone please give me a haste value that allows for Shock>2xHL/DL>Free GCD? I feel that once I reach this haste cap it probably only effects Holy Radiance and is probably better going for Mastery(correct me if im wrong).

Mastery> Considering the beaconed target(weather 1 tank is taking dmg at a time or both tanking different things, I'd put it on the tank taking less dmg? due to beacon only doing 50% heals?) doesn't get the absorb buff. and the absorbs being very little. I'm wondering how effective is this.(I'm mentioning this because of how many people say Mastery is underrated). This would be the stat I aim for after the haste cap I'm aiming for just to add those absorbs when using HLs/DLs/HSs on the raid to lower the overall mana consumption of the other 1-2 healers(10man).

Crit>I've read a few peoples opinions for this and how they feel its underrated. In my experience Conviction can be kept at 3stacks even with 10% crit, so for that its not nessesary. I've also read a statement about crit being useful for the crit heals and how it can be efficient. But if you're healing with 1 or 2 other healers(10man), the likelyhood of this being true is pretty low, alot if it would probably become overheals which is why I feel crit is the weakest stat.

Spirit> Most of the good items give spirit and as long as you're judging on cd, using (in my case) divine plea/arcane torrent/spirit trinkets. Mana isn't really an issue. I feel spirit shouldn't be reforged into nor gemmed(unless its reforging crit on an item without spirit).

The other thing which I find really silly is. The tier gear giving crit/mastery. You can get the spr/haste helm,legs,gloves,chest which makes our Tier Gear seem insignificant. Has anyone figured out if the tier gear is any better than getting all the haste items?

PS. Thank you for your time in reading stuff which you've probably read over and over in previous posts. 22pages of reading is a bit over my head. Please if theres any help/input at all that you can give me, it'll be much appreciated. I don't seem to have any problems healing raids, but I want to be the best I can be.

Every single cata random enchantment item has 7889 on the stamina column, but they don't all have the same stamina of course. How do you explain that?

Edit: removed useless post

I agree. Simcraft is a tool that will tell you what the maximum dps possible from warlocks and very little more. For example I currently understand that its actually more advantageous to your dps to balance around 17% hit and 20.25% haste when raiding because of the extreme amount of movement involved (requires full ilvl 359 to achieve unless you have engineering & jewelcrafting). Where as Simcraft will tell you that Int is better for your dps than haste.

Simcraft is good for rotation experimentation. For example On as static fight does Shadowflame increase overall dps? Simcraft can help you work this out and then its up to you to try to implement it in the game.

Thank you for your info.
Something of really value for me.

Hi there i have been reading these forums for a while but decided recently to become a member here because i have a question.
I am an orc warrior so i get +3 expertise for using axe or fist weapon. There is no 1h axe or fist weapon with strength in the game atm, atleast not a pve one.
So how good do you think the Claws of torment + Claws of agony set is for an orc warrior? This way i will get 146 agility instead of 146 str. 146 agility is 0,6% crit chanse. I will also get the set bonus which gives 1000 haste every 50 sec or so, which we could say is 200 constant haste. I can also reforge away expertise so i get 50 crit, 50 hit.

So 146 agi, 200 haste, 50 crit, 50 hit OR 146 str? Is the str still better? and if so, by how much? Worth changing weapons? (i currently have the claw set).
