Woho! Yesterday I finally got the Tiger mount! I'm 4k into revered with Zandalar, so I've been at it for a while. The question now is, should I continue to run ZG for the raptor?

That depends entirely on how much you want the Raptor mount o_O

Thanks for posting that up, Winco. I would grow a vagina to have your babies, were it requested of me.

Is there no point where you have actually reached pure 100% ArP though and therefore you are only gaining some benefit from one of the procs?

I wonder what difference does weapon speed make for unholy.
The BiS weapons (pre-hardmode and hardmode) have a speed of 3.4, whereas the Furious Gladiator tier2 ones have 3.6. Can this make enough difference for the Furious weapon to climb a bit higher or even become BiS?

I'd drop the hit gems in your belt for +16 str gems (+32 str = +64 AP) and enchant your gloves for +20 hit to put you at (-32 hit + 20 hit = -12 hit = 242 / 237 hit rating /// + 20 AP); Then change your yellow gems to +8 str and + 8 critical strike rating, and your blue gems to +8 str and + 12 stamina.

Thanks a lot. I got some new gear and dropped mining for JC. Right now I have 3429 AP, 250 hit, 231 ArP rating(18.76%), and 36.97% crit. Armory.
You were saying something about dropping some hit. How much can I afford to lose in place of some more ArP or strength?

No because if you read the thread carefully (sorry I dont like to be mean, but thats the truth), you would know that armor penetration doesnt cap at 100%, and not only that, but getting mobs to increasing negative armor gives expotential benefits.

40 odd pages of Warriors telling each other that HS was awful but you cant spec for anything else in the top of the tree bored me
And I didnt say ArP caping at 100%. I meant removing 100% of the targets Armour, somewhat like we used to do with Executioner Procs in TBC. (Based on if each 1% of ArP removes X amount of Armour then there must be a roof, this either being where the target has 0 Armour, or where Blizzard have placed a Hard Cap.)
And negative armour? I must have missed something here, Armour reduces damage done by attacks, if the target has no Armour then the attack will do its full damage, I fail to see how "negative" Armour can make a difference or even exist.

negative armor means your attacks will do more damage.

Would it be possible to get a download of your UI? I've been trying to replicate it, but I can't get the unitframes to come out right. Also, what font are you using?
EDIT:
nvm I'm an idiot. You posted it above me.

Hey guys, does anyone know the definite answer as to using SoC or SoB in arena? I've been playing ret to 2200 using blood and all the top ret pallies in the world seem to be split on the idea. I know a fellow ret that is a die hard command user and he claims that it is SO much better than blood right now. I find that hard to believe. any answers?

I have noticed that since I got my 4piece T7 my LvB crits tend to be lower than without the 4 piece. Anyone see this issue. I was using 4piece T6 for the bonuses for quite a while, and I saw LvB hitting much harder than it currently is.

The "top ret pallies in the world" are not split on the idea. You use Blood, period.

actually, some of the top rated pallies i've looked at are specced into Command, so it's that that simple. thanks for coming out though
not to mention, some use the DOT, and some dont. so it's not so black and white

Also went for the 51/0/20 with the NOTD over the 5/5 necro, wondering if thats better than 5/5 necro.
trying to maximize my dps for raiding and with the disease glyph i'm doing a
IT, PS, DS, HS HS, dump
DS,HS,HS,HS,HS,HS dump
then just a pestilence to refresh diseases and spam HS/ds combo's.

I am fairly certain that ArP vs Strength gemming is still debatable atm, could anyone expand on this please ?
I just recently switched to blood after being unholy since my first day in naxx and I'm not sure about this myself.
As for the the glyph/rot:
I use Glyph of DRW over glyph of disease. Everyone I talk to says glyph of disease rotations do less damage, but I can't really say from personal experience. I dont really have a set in stone rotation ... keep diseases rolling, use DS to keep death runes up whenever possible and other wise spam HS. I am considering switching to a DS opener "rotation" though from what I am reading. I push 7k+ dps on XT (which is supposedly the new patchwerk?) I also have 0/2 notd 4/5 necro and 2/2 epidemic. I will probably switch one point out of epidemic for necro in this coming week. As stated above, I am still fairly new to blood, but im pumping out nice numbers so there is my 2 cents.

Do you have any other L80 items you could swap out to drop the 4pT7? Maybe run some tests with WWS to show the difference between having and not having the bonus? Im sure a lot of people here would love to have some numbers for that. It could possibly be a fluke, yet that could be a problem in itself. Ill run some numbers tonight with and without 4p in tonights raid, and see if I can find anything.

Anyway it is only a boss mode, if bigwigs has something really cool and DBM doesn't have, I can always switch them.

I know this is an old post. but for truth's sake, this even applies now.
You can keep them both on and disable each others' messages to work them in conjunction without interference if you do it right. If anybody needs help configuring them, PST me in-game, or ask here.

Aside from heroic ulduar drops. Are the new crafted items (Belt of Dragons, Boots of Living Scale) BiS for survival hunters (providing hit is capped)?
