In regards to Mods, I think you should suggest people to use BigWigs and LittleWigs instead of Deadly Boss Mods.

BigWigs and LittleWigs I found are more acurate than DBM, I am not sure what is going on with DBMs development but its quality has been gradually slipping.

BigWigs (Raiding)
LittleWigs (5-man Heroics)

Deadly boss mods is better kept up to date as to my knowledge. However any or all of them will do for you as long as you use one. I used BW and LW at first but found its developers to be much less adept at programming at the time, which was nearly four years ago.

I also want to say thank you to everyone who is participating in #Acherus, as it is the premiere place to find help outside of the EJ forums for Death Knights.

Ive read both that we need to gem for int-mastery and int-hit, and ive also heared that gemming straight int is best... Which is better?

can someone start a Fury thread similar to the ones in DK section? i find that the warrior Threads are pretty useless compare to the ones in DK section

Cataclysm Arcane Mage Compendium <-- click to go to Gemming details.

It's pretty simple really. For any item you have with sockets in it, just compare the options you have.

Look at a recent simulationcraft output for your character and find the comparison of stats ("Scale Factors"). Here is an example: Simulationcraft Results

Lets say your normalised "worth" of each stat is:
int = 1
hit = 0.6
mastery = 0.3
That is to say, 1 mastery is only worth 0.3 int.

Item of Awesomeness
1 blue socket
+10 mastery socket bonus

You could either:
a) use 40 int gem (Brilliant).
Total bonuses = 40 int.
Total worth = 40.
OR
b) use 20 int + 20 hit gem (Veiled).
Total bonuses = 20 int, 20 hit, 10 mastery.
Total worth = 20 + (20*0.6) + (10*0.3)
. = 20 + 12 + 3
. = 35

The 40 int gem is the right choice. The same principle applies for all gem choices.

I was wrong. For PVP the point still stands, but the EJ forum is probably not the right place to discuss this.

listen you little shithead do whatever you like just stop fucking crying about it

Too build on Osyriss's first comment, I am also having issues lately with my DPS.

To preface my question, I consider myself well studied on the elemental shaman. I research weekly on new ideas and changes and I keep my gear up to date. I pretty much go by this thread and use other informative shaman sites out there.

Lately, my dps has seemed to have peaked and is now starting to regress a bit and for no obvious reason. Beyond that, I used to be fairly competitive within my 10 man team and now find myself usually at the bottom in most fights. It is starting to get very frustrating and I really do not know what to do next. If anyone is willing to help me a little, it would be MUCH appreciated.

With my 351 Itemlevel I'm just getting an average DPS of 9k. May it be better to spec Arcan or Frost? If yes do you have a clue when which tree is better?

Wow, thank you. Power Auras was exactly the addon that I needed.

It could be a pain to configure if you're not already using Power Auras, otherwise it should be pretty painless to get working. That's all I could really help with. Here's a link to the download if you want to try it:

I have been using #showtooltip Slam for Bloodsurge and #showtooltip Overpower for Taste for Blood and it works just fine.
