Tanking adds or drakes. You don't really need anything that you probably don't already have if you're attempting it. (your armory gear looks more than sufficient)
A block set is good for adds, and a couple pieces of BT shadow resist help out on drakes.

i just lost fun in tanking

also included in those notes:

Viper Sting re-designed: Stings the target, draining 4% of mana over 8 sec (up to a maximum of 8% of the caster's maximum mana), and energizing the Hunter equal to 300% of the amount drained. Only one Sting per Hunter can be active on any one target.

while the return of mana is nice, it now only drains 20% of what it used to. what im wondering now is that because it drains so little, will anyone take the gcd to actually dispell it anymore? could be a buff in that sense.

edit: looking at druids abolish poison, it costs 13% base mana. With their base mana, it costs around 455 to cast. Assuming 15000 mana and 4% drained, they only save themselves 150 mana by dispelling it, and would probably lose more mana dispelling if it got a tick off, rather then just letting it go its duration.

Shiv: This ability can no longer generate a critical strike, and the poisons it applies cannot be critical strikes either.

Last nail in the shiv build's coffin.

Ummm... so wtf is this: (on mmo champion)

Survival

    * Explosive Shot: Base damage lowered by 10%. Attack power scaling reduced by 12.5%.

Ow. Unwarranted? Am I missing something?

Okay, nevermind... after reading in to the changes thread it seems this is just a formal announcement of the nerf at the start of the month. I thought we were getting hit again =x ... either way, early indications seem to show that BM is once again the flavor of the month, at least on PTR?

Hey guys, I'm currently using the 21/50 2h DPS build and am wondering which weapon is better for raid DPS, assuming I'm hit capped.
[Titansteel Destroyer]
or
[Sword of Justice]

I had always used the titan steel destroyer, but i've had people tell me that because of Top End Damage and crit rating the Sword of Justice is better. I'd just like once and for all a straight forward answer.

hey i did a respec last night i got 9.5 % hit plus 2 % in precision i thought i was over the hit cap but did maly today and misses 33% and got deflected 27% where did i go wrong.

sylg85 · 02/28/09, 5:37 AM

hello here's my char : The World of Warcraft Armory

i have the T7 helm and the 7.5 bp.

i would like to know wich one i should be equipe between Frozen pain and T7.5 BP for the Breastplate and Spiked Helm or T7 helm ?

i loose alots of hit when equiping both T7 items. so is the Bonus of 4pc worth it ? i mean i need to regem a bit to get back to 288 hit rating

Cant make up my mind

thank you !

Yes yes, repeat early more, I know.

But the fact is what changes could possibly help us now? As I've said right now we have no useful raid utility, we're not going to have our DPS buffed to match pure DPS'ers, we won't get some new raid utility so all we can do is hope and pray for a BM hunter nerf? oh or reroll holy/prot, great idea thanks sherlock!

So in my upgrades waiting for the optimal stuff I need to focus on Hit?

i can only imagine

Enrage Should not be including in the list that will not stack. That is a flat out furry pvp warrior nerf. Even in pve for those of us using enrage when we have too much geared +hit or +expertise. Timing our cooldowns with procs is one thing that has separated the top tier warriors from the pack. Waiting to get Enraged to time interupts with triggered effects, especially deathwish has been one main reason for success in arena. I understand making buffs from different classes not stack together such as Tricks of the Trade and Hysteria, but our two very own abilities in the same talent tree will not stack? Enrage and deathwish is bread and butter. This is blasphemous. Do not let this happen.

How much are you guys getting on the dummy with 41/30?

DKSolider · 02/28/09, 4:34 PM
