Please correct me if im totally wrong on this, but when looking on Horde part what race to choose, in racials couldnt find anything dps increasing factor. Looked basic racial str and agis and found that taurens overcome 16str over 6agi vs bloodelfs. So wouldnt choosing tauren will be considered dps increase? Not anything world shaking, but its still maxing dps

Okay so I am getting epic'd out as a comabt rogue and I am always concerned about maintaining expertise capped at 26, and keeping my spell hit at 17 percent. However, some of the gear I am getting is causing me to sacrafice my haste. How much haste is a good amount of haste to have before I concern myself with the hit rating, and if I shouldnt concern myself with spell hit. How much hit is a good amount. I currently have 18% haste, 15.50% hit, and about 18.4 percent crit. my spell hit is 17.14%. Just not sure how much hit to give up to boost my haste.

You will lose crit/haste etc, but for now, it seems viable to strive for the 15% addtnl damage of crusader strike versus the extra 10 seconds on inquisition.

Could some of the hardcore theorycrafters please look into this? I think it makes sense, would be awsome if it was a boost as i have 2 prot pieces laying around allready ;P

I was wondering what stats i should want and should want to get rid of when reforging i know agility is good but i dont know abut mastery? if anyone could help please do!!

jula · 04/10/11, 4:04 PM

My main spec is resto and offspec balance, thus i have quite a bit of 372 resto items.
My questions is, how much are the balance set bonuses worth. In other words, is it worth to downgrade from 372 non-moonkin tier items to 359 moonkin tier to pick up bonuses? What if i only have to downgrade one 372 ?

Ok, that data confirms what I thought. I had a really good feeling that you would keep up Rupture at 4+ points and use Envenom at 4+ points too. I just didn't have any proper math to back it up, which I know is frowned upon, so I thought just posing questions was a good idea. Thank you for that.

The efflorescence heal amount is based on your swiftmend heal amount, which by definition benefits from symbiosis since there must be a HoT on the target in order to cast it. However, once the efflorescence is out, do the individual ticks get adjusted by mastery if there is still a HoT on the target?

No, it doesn't double dip.

I feel like rereading 4.0.6 guide.
With a few update made regarding the announce changes.

I still have a few question:
Why you made a guide without including all changes from PTR? Including talent Tree from PTR?
You didn't speak about Spirit Link Totem anything. In my opinion this is one of the big changes on the build.

Regarding Cleansing Waters: His 6 sec(not 5 sec how you stated) is coming by choosing resto spec or by putting points on improved cleansing water talent?

I think, it's worth to keep up my pyroblast dot, since LB alone is not enough to support Dark Intent buff on my fellow warlock.
Well, I can switch to FFB as a main nuke for that one reason, but I don't like it somehow...

EsctheRogue · 04/11/11, 4:00 PM

This may be answered, but I have read through once and could not find it.

What do I do when I have 3 combo points, I SS one more time to get 4 combo points, but Glyph of Sinister Strike procs and I hit 5 combo points before I can RS?

Do I RS anyway and then finish?
Do I use a finisher without RS and reset my CP's?

Thanks, and sorry in advance if this has already been answered.

Just out of curiosity, how much health should an 85 in the 4.0.6 update have in order to tank raids?

NaeblisHyjal · 04/11/11, 10:03 PM

Hi,

With 4.1 coming around it looks like the changes to frost is allowing it to lead the dk specs on the simcraft charts.
I was wondering if frost 2h should still be using UP in high haste gear, and if frost DW should be using FP.

I am currently unholy and have about 1900 haste rating. I was looking at the frost thread and it looks like there is some discussion regarding how good the value of haste is.

Also I noticed that the sticky that was asking for a new frost spec thread is now gone. Does this mean that a new thread owner has been found?

Thank you for reading,
Naeblis

According to Frostheims SV-Haste Plateau-Guide, you'll need 3470 haste rating and the 4pT11-Bonus to be able to cast 4 Cobra Shots between your Explosive Shots. Do you think it's worth it to use Prestors Talisman of Machination instead of Essence of the Cyclone? I have about 1500 haste rating. So in theory, Prestors would have an effect like the ArP-Trinkets back in WotLK-days, making me reach the second haste hardcap with every proc. This feels just right, but I don't even know how to do the math and figure out if it's better than Essence of the Cyclone or Fluid Death.

I'm thankful for every kind of help here.

I'm inquiring about my brothers enhance set, as he is ele, but our enhance has been sketchy at best.

At what point does a caster weapon best a melee weapon now? He has a heroic blade of the witching hour and a multitude of 372s, but I was unsure if that was gonna be better than 359 nef axe and 359 maimgors?

Is the caster weapon he has a better MH to go along with maimgors for now?
