Which stat between Haste and Mastery a heavy hit build should priorize? For item like [Skullstealer Greataxe]?
Im thinking haste because it goes with hit, but since heavy mastery build are doing more dps, maybe mastery is better. :S

Same with some gems.

ok i think i can post here for help. i need some help figuring out why my dps is failing so badly. this is my toon:
Quasimdo @ Ner'zhul - Game - World of Warcraft

lately it seems that in 25 man firelands the best dps i can do over all is about 15.5k dps. ive been doing the recommended rotation from this site and have been popping cds very steadily yet i continue to remain at a low dps. any help at all maybe?

note: the waist and axe that are equipped i just got tonite and will not add enchants or gems til tomorrow so ignore those for now. the previous items in those slots were another akirus with landslide and a belt of absolute zero with 2 +40 strength gems

Because, you probably didn't work on boss options and for some, avoidance is better than mastery. Try first working on boss options and then try to optimize gear.

And it doesn't state. Nothing is stated here. It' said that mastery looks better than avoidance, because it's less RNG. It doesn't mean it's always better.

Hey 1 small question to the new 2set bonus for dps wars. Is it worth to take 2 points from executioner and move them to booming voice? When you are arms spec that is.

So the T12 2 set bonus is officially shit ... According to my tests it's a 1% dps upgrade.

That was how the 4-piece was behaving at the end of the PTR. Now that more and more mages have the ability to get their 4-pieces, we should now be able to test it out in a live environment. Unless you have a log of some sort, your information is useless and is second-hand here-say at best. If this is true though, the 4-piece value will be much greater than abysmal dps increase it was previously thought to give.

Unfortunetly, people often fail to remember that the PTR is exactly that - a public TEST realm. Things change repeatedly between the end of PTR and live - thus anything on PTR is just as much 'heresay' as me saying how the 4p works on live. You can armory Dracones on US-Shattered Hand and see for yourself that he actually does have his four piece.

The post i called out is not saying 'this is how it works on PTR' it is saying 'this is how it works on live' and it is saying that falsely.

Sup Guys, Looking for a bit of advice on Valour Points, Currently sat on 2940 And I'm weary about spending them willy nilly, I've had some real luck with drops in FL so far and have ended up with this:

Lothos @ Chamber of Aspects - Game - World of Warcraft

I know the Ring/Neck/Bracers are available but are they a significant upgrade over replacing the 378 items with Tier 12 (Legs/Gloves)

arquandis · 07/13/11, 7:22 PM

What is BIS for retribution ?
Helm ou Chest ?

Every site is different......

Mamoru · 07/13/11, 8:27 PM

It's pretty close like I've found chest being about 10 dps more (off piece chest that is)

Riftchaos · 07/13/11, 9:42 PM

BoD is now clipable. You can extend the duration of it, without losing the next tick. ex: refresh at 46 secs, BoD will get 1 min 1 sec duration.
