Has anyone punched up some numbers on the PTR to find out what the new expertise cap is with the change to Unleashed Rage. I had a quick play before our raid tonight but it seems to be somewhere around 146. Can someone please confirm

Edit: Never mind I looked it up and found that 140 expertise rating is the new cap with 3/3 in Unleashed Rage.

I have a quick question about the base stats used in the simcraft. For example:

Player=Warlock_T8_00_56_15 DPS=5908.6 (Error=+/-1.2 Range=+/-585) DPR=17.7 RPS=334.8/276.7 (mana)
Core Stats: strength=59 agility=61 stamina=1257 intellect=968 spirit=541 health=19353 mana=20722
Spell Stats: power=2000 hit=14.1% crit=16.7% penetration=0 haste=15.2% mp5=0
Attack Stats: power=737 hit=11.3% crit=12.3% expertise=0.0 penetration=0 haste=15.2%

Player=Warlock_T8_03_52_16 DPS=6044.6 (Error=+/-1.2 Range=+/-582) DPR=18.8 RPS=322.2/262.9 (mana)
Core Stats: strength=59 agility=61 stamina=1257 intellect=968 spirit=541 health=19353 mana=20722
Spell Stats: power=2000 hit=11.1% crit=18.4% penetration=0 haste=15.2% mp5=0
Attack Stats: power=737 hit=8.8% crit=14.1% expertise=0.0 penetration=0 haste=15.2%

Why is that again?

Has ANYONE seen this drop anytime in the recent past? We havent seen one the entire time we've been doing Naxx 25. It's almost like it's not even on the loot table anymore...which maybe isnt all that far fetched if they're adding it to badges. Any confirmation that it is still dropping (i.e. someone who has recieved it in the last couple weeks) would make me feel better. It's one of the few things I feel I need to be ready for Ulduar. BoH being one of the others.

Our second one of those dropped last night and I lost out on it to a Ret Paladin.

You cannot possibly be loosing the sigil of awareness to a paladin... You might have skipped on what was discussed and didn't realise the reply was about the sigil going on ptr for 25 marks.

Dropped ~3 weeks ago for me.

Random loot is random. We've had a lot of Sigils of Awareness drop. All our DKs got one and we have disenchanted many.

Mystryl · 03/04/09, 11:57 AM

Random loot is most definitely random.

We've had like 4 or 5 Sigils, they just wont stop dropping. However, since we started raiding we have never, ever, seen a Betrayer of Humanity, and only week before last we say an Armageddon drop. In the distant past we have seen other epic ilvl 213 2hdrs, but they're not dropping now.

Really annoying!

So far the best numbers are being put up by DoomGuards and that seems to me to be a bit of a gimmick given that on "most" raid bosses you are not going to use it. The Question I am looking to answer is what is going to be the highest DPS spec for raiding which I suppose is a different question that what is being answered here.

So far that spec appears to be 0/41/30 which isn't what it appears with the graph that shows affliction as the hands down winner but only because of the use of a DG..

If we are going to compare specs with DG's can we get the DG damage added to all the specs and perhaps break them out into their own set of graphs?

Reading comprehension FTW. I said our second BoH dropped last night, which I lost to a ret pally.
As a side note we had 2, yes 2, Inevitable Defeats drop on the same trash pull last night.

yeah, i'm glad i got all my leveling in before the nerf. But i still love my gorilla! (even after 3.1 when he has to share thunderstomp with all the tenacity pets)

I dont want them to take out the mounts

Darksubaru · 03/04/09, 6:26 PM

I used OMEN, but then it was having problems and was acting all weird

Darksubaru · 03/04/09, 6:28 PM

I appreciate all the input on this thread, it has really helped
