Haste Cap for Arcane Mage

Can anyone tell me if there is a soft or hard cap for haste for arcane mages now and if so what it is? I have a few mages in my guild asking this question and they havent been able to find an answer.

Thanks in advance!

What would the dps loss be if you dont backstab below 35% and just continue to mutilate?

I do have 2/2 Murderous Intent but prefer keeping my normal rotation. I also would like to use the slice and dice glyph in place of backstab.

Reducing the multi-shot GCD was something they just changed yesterday. When I posted that it was still 1.5.

But anyways, I'm seeing less and less of a reason to play survival with each update. FD already has it 3.5k DPS behind marks in my gear, which is far from BiS. With such a huge buff to multi shot incoming, which marks casts a lot more frequently than surv, I might not even have surv as my offspec anymore. Might as well just play marks full time.

sorry: i'm lost in calculations
the CS-AiSx2-SSx5 should be feasible with a 22,5% haste buffed?

It's a DPS loss, since you won't be doing as good as you could be doing. The scale of loss is really not relevant put up against the fact you will be underperforming.

As I recall backstabbing sub 35% nets you around 1k dps during the phase, so probably a 300-400 dps gain overall. The fact that you would pass up such a substantial increase for the sake of laziness (as apposed to not being able to use backstab due to the positional requirements for example) is just, well, lazy and bad. I'd suggest you don't inform your raid leader if you decide to do this. On the note of glyphs, if you drop backstab the only beneficial glyph left is vendetta, slice and dice is situational at best and completely useless at worst.

How much dps is 1% crit

Hi!

I guess this is the right thread to post this as its a vry simple question.
Im curious to how much it would benefit the dps to race change to a worgen IE get 1% passive crit chance, i know it varies depending on gear lvl, spec etc, but in average in current 359/372 gears ?

Hi all,
I recently returned to the game after almost a year-long hiatus and am trying to understand some of the new mechanics relative to destro and need some advice/confirmation as I prepare to re-enter serious raiding.

1. Currently for heroic bosses/Argoloth, my standard opening is to summon an infernal as the tank pulls; soul-burn into a soul fire, then put up immolate, BoD & Corruption before activating demon soul and starting the standard Conflag-CB-Incinerate rotation. Is this a reasonable way to open an encounter? I noticed that Demon Soul affects spells with cast time so does that mean that if I modified my opening Soul Fire due to Soul Burn, does it negate Demon Soul? Should I be opening with Demon Soul even before the first Soul Fire/Immolate so that Immolate could conceivably benefit as well?

2. In pre-raiding (heroic and rep epics), what is the best way to utilise the downtime between an Immolate and Conflag if Fel Flame is not worth casting. I am encountering scenarios where either my Chaos Bolt is up 2 seconds before my Conflag or in some case after re-casting Immo I don't need to refresh Corruption but have that downtime before being able to cast Conflag. Is it a DPS loss to cast Chaos Bolt when Conflag is on a 2 sec CD or am I better off waiting for the CD to end? In any case would it be better to cast an Incinerate straight after an immo to use up the time if no DoTs need refreshing since Fel Flame is so weak without 4-pc T11?

Thanks for the help.

Demon soul affects sb-sf.
You should summon the infernal when there is nothing better to do. The damage the infernal does is (in a complete single target situation) always the same --> corr,coe,immo,cb,conflag,bod > infernal > incinerate.

i think the starting rota was posted some pages before so look it up :P

refreshing immo right after the tick before the last one is nearly no dps loss and you can use conflag right after immo.
its never an option to wait doing nothing!


PS: im sorry for your eyes reading my english.

The information in this thread, while valid, is lacking some of the detail that the previous Cataclysm Arcane discussion from Logix had. I suggest folks read that one as well, as much of that information is still very good, especially the detail around the 3-phase rotation and the optimizing of those phases. I've found the info in that post to be highly effective, still and should be read in addition to this one.

Im sorry if this has been talked about before, but im still tearing my hair off regarding [Figurine - Jeweled Serpent]
and when to replace it as arcane. I fully understand how high Int is regarded and the on use effect. But there must be some additional reason why rawr treat is like the best thing next to icecream?

Or is it 100% correctly modeled in rawr? Its on top no matter what i gear i put on. And installing rawr 4.1 or updating the item cache dont change that fact. Or im seriously missing something.

My guild is currently at 10/12 in normal 25man raiding and im wondering how long i have to be stuck with this one. Any hint would be greatly recieved.

Thanks in advance.

cheers
