No longer destealths on combat gain.
Can cloak Flash Freeze and Consuming Flames.
Can feint all of the damage in last phase.
Mind Numbling Poison can slow the cast speed of the Release Aberrations and Arcane Storm. If for some reason you don't have a warlock, mage...
Heroic
You can cloak the Dark Sludge to not take any damage and feint to reduce the damage of it.

Does [Mind-numbing Poison] work on Vile Swill casting dark sludge? If i put it on my thrown weapon(ill lose some aoe dps) will it stop them from casting it so much? If so this could clean some things up. I will try it tonight but if someone has and it doesn't work then I wont waste my time and dps.

Misunderstanding
Correct me if the answer to my question is posted somewhere, basically I was wondering exactly how the Rawr works, as in I get why the items may be better then what I have DPS wise but over I wouldn't use them because isnt it important to be Hit capped, and expertise capped as a combat rogue? I feel like the Rawr suggests to me that I should forget about hit and everything and pretty much stack as much haste as possible and that will make up for the misses? in order to maximize my dps. When the EP value of some of the gear is higher, yet other items give better dps that have lower EP. I want to gear properly and I pull pretty substantial DPS so I feel like what I am doing is correct to get hit capped, and expertise, etc before stacking haste. and if i go with some of the blues I will lose expertise and hit, gain some haste, and lose a lot of agility which is suppose to be the most important stat.

Hello there fellow Arms Warriors. I've noticed a bit of a decline in this thread over the past couple weeks. I've been reading around a little bit here and there but it's rather hard to keep up with school and such. I do have a few questions. I raid three nights a week and my dps is not horrible, but it could always use improvement. (I do rank on WoL normal fights in the top 100, but I don't think that's saying all too much.
I've heard talk of berserker stance usage and I've been playing with Exp Cap and perma-battle stance. Is stance dancing solely for the execute phase? Do you MS, Exec, Exec in Berserker, switch to battle to hit two OP's one after the other, then back to berserker to MS and execute?
How spread is the damage between perma-battle arms and stance-dance arms?
Is staying below the exp cap for perma-battle arms really worth it with the amount of boss fights that require us to be to the side or front of the boss/adds?
Is the BiS list posted on the other thread correct and worth following?
If I'm breaking the forum rules or something, I apologize and I'll make sure not to in the future. :S
Hopefully, this will bring some discussion back to the thread and may clear some things up for future arms warriors who are looking to learn how to play!

I have a question about Virulence. Does it effect just your disease ticks or does it actually effect your obliterate dmg as well. Right now I took the points our of virulence and put them into Butchery and improved blood tap because i get the feeling it only improves your disease tics and 30% really isn't much in the way of a dps gain when you can add another obliterate when you need it during killing machine. I seem to think that is better from my understand of how Virulence works.

DMC Hurricane
This is my first post and hopefully not my last  I have been trying to find out if the Darkmoon card Hurricane procs from SV shots and effects. I have read in some other forums that this trinket is not good for SV Hunters. I have this trinket and I am unsure if it is procing. can some one help me or point me in the right direction to find the answer. Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to find out the top SV hunter according to best guild/best dps on a Boss? I would like to take a gander of what he/she is reforging, glyphing etc. I know most people in the top guilds are MM and I do play MM on some bosses..however SV is my first love and my guild doesn't mind me playing SV. However, I would love to be properly hasted etc. Right now you can see my reforging is alot of haste as I was trying to get more Cobras into my rotation....

If you are still working on heroic neff kill (as I am), using Heroic Essence of the Cyclone and DMC: Hurricane is the best trinket combo for stolen power. It is very RNG though, but if you get lots of stolen power, your dmg potential is crazy.
(this takes into consideration that you dont have heroic prestor still, if you do, disregard)

Go re-read the combat based guide http://elitistjerks.com/f78/t111329-..._03_25_2011_a/ . It discusses all of the stats in depth and has EP values for each, which should show you that yellow hit cap and expertise cap are the most important things to get, outside of agility. After those, most thing will have you focus haste as much as possible.
As for hit cap... there are 3 levels of hit cap for rogues, and most rogues, especially right now, will find it vary difficult to become truly hit capped.

hey all im new here, but i got a fjew questions after reading all of the post.
why is like 99% of the hunters saying to take Careful Aim, its only for cobra and steady shots, and moost of the time in raids you havent got the time to stay still and spam cobra/steady because you have to ran from stuf or nuke adds(multishot so noo bonus)
and stuff like that, and if you have the time all the other dpses probably pulling all there CD's. So he will drop fast to below 80%
why not taking Bestial Descipline and Frenzy max instead, then your pet who is almoost 100% of the whole fight on the boss gets like 350/500 more dps the whole fight(think about the overal dmg). sounds lot beter to me.. not?
and second question;p
if you have tier 11 4p bonus around what do you want to have your cobra shot(1.5? 1.45?1.4?) and because haste gives us shorter cast for cobra and very lil focus regen and faster auto shots, but if you take like 1.5sec cobra shot then you can pump alot in mastery what gives a dmg boost to almoost all your other skills. ty=) srry if my questions are naab or bad gram

Possible suggestion for the gear section. I just picked this belt up and have not seen it listed in any BiS gear list or ranking. (note the armory tooltip is broken and is missing +160 haste as well).
I have this in my bags and here are the correct stats:
Soul Breath Belt of the Fireflash
+380 Stamina
+232 Intellect
+160 Crit Rating
+160 Haste Rating
Soul Breath Belt - Game - World of Warcraft

Hello fellow snowmans....
well...got some questions for everyone around as long as i cant refer to the creator of the threat!
1st of all....at DW why Set items ( chest head ) are better than the crafetd chest and dragonBone helm? the non set items are really boosting mstery which is the Main stat (except strngth ofc)....maybe some of u will annswear...."because of the fourth set item bonus" .....Well....if 4 set item bonus is sooo important why DW=2H..... when in 2h your primary stat is Haste? u get 4set items bonus WITH your primary stat!
i am atm DW FULL mastery (20.05) with all the right caps ofc and my dps is up to 18-19k onky when runes have good mood! sometimes i press the exactly same buttons at the same fight and no killing machine no rimes....down to 12k...can any1 explain this to me plz?
and smthing else....at 2h if u hold Ashkandi OR if u manage to get the right hit cap why to use Lisence to Slay instead of crushing Weight? i think LTS get u 380strght while CW gets u 320....And imba proc
Btw....can any1 who uses the 4set item bonus tells me if its really worths it?
Thank you.....

The warrior class also has one of those spreadsheets and a very good one in quality terms. The author Landsoul (also contributed to this thread) wrote it and it did perfect work until Cataclysm hit and the sheet needed to be overhauled.
But as there is still no new spreadsheet i am damn sure that Landsoul was busy killing 13/13 HM with his guild and didn´t have any spare time to finish his precious work, but be patient, young padawan, soon it will be released to serve us warriors once more to reach true power in terms of dps!

So here is the deal, I have playing and raiding since BC and have always been good at what I do as a warrior. I follow all the gemming and reforging suggestions listed here, but yet I am not seeing the results that I used to on the meters. All the simulators say i should be doing 19-22k dps and I am currently doing 14k-17k as you can see this quite a difference. Just wondering what I am missing my rotation is what it should be i line up cooldowns properly, i do still occasionally hit HS but only when I am over 80 rage. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance BTW this will properly get banned for having been covered but I am willing to take the chance.
