[Unheeded Warning] was changed in a mini patch from
"Equip: Your melee attacks have a chance to increase your weapon damage by 680 for 10 sec."
to
"Unheeded Warning now grants 1926 attack power". Is it possible to update Shadowcraft for this change?

"Gem choices are fairly obvious now that our only viable meta gem is [Agile Shadowspirit Diamond]. Agility is more than twice as valuable as any secondary stat, so with superior quality gems the only socket bonuses worth picking up are those that give 20 agility or more. For example, the tier helmet and chest. Other sockets can safely be filled with [Delicate Inferno Ruby] with socket bonuses ignored."

Ok this may very well be a Noob question, but as I am reading this, Im interpreting that I could put a red delicate inferno ruby in lets say a yellow spot and just not get the gemming bonus on the item. Is that correct? Ive played only just over a year and never thought to try that.

Ok I really really hope I'm not going to piss anyone off because I think this sounds like a rather simple question but I can't find my answer anywhere, or at least anywhere that explains it simply enough for me to understand. I'm a 10fairly new Protection Paladin but I'm trying to optimize my gear to raiding. I'm looking for a stat priority list so that I know what stats take priority over others, and also any caps or limits so that i know when to stop stacking a certain stat. I've seen posts talking about about a 102% avoidance cap which consists of base miss, dodge, parry, and block i believe. What is the base miss? I want to know exactly what percentages I'm adding up(As I'm at my character sheet). I mean the dodge, parry, and block are obvious to see but I don't know about base miss. I'm assuming that the miss due to level difference of myself and the mob I'm attacking but I'm not positive. Any help on any of these questions would be wonderful. Thanks

Hello everyone,

I have another question, I sought the answer but as my neighbor above, I have not found.

In fact I'd like to know if you have compiled a list of EP stats values (Hit, crit, strength, agility, mastery, hit yellow, white hit, expertise...)

It will help me a lot for reforging

Thanks you,

Storkii

Ps: Sorry for my english, i m belgian

The major problem with mastery scalling meta is that the higher our mastery gets the more cricial meta becomes to our overall dps.

And this is also why it is sub optimal to run moonwell on fights where you will not get many impending doom procs, i.e. Lord Rhyo.

So everyone keeps making threads about what is the best stat for an arcane mage (Haste or Mastery). The threads are long and everyone says different things denpening on their gear. I dont really care which of them that's best, atleast not for now. It will get solved in the near future so I'm not going to bother you with another one of those questions.

My question is tho, regardless of what gear you have:

Lets say you're in a raid, and you got ALL of the buffs, you're NOT a troll, you're NOT a goblin or anything else like that that gives haste/speed increase, WHERE exactly is the haste cap? At what point of X haste raiting do you reach the 0.9999/1.00000 sec cast time if you have ALL the possible raid buffs that comes from either speccs or normal buffs that players buffs?

These are PvE forums so you won't find much support for PvP here. However, I can point you in the right direction: Death Knight - Arena Junkies

Arena junkies wont spell it out, you'll have to do some digging and make a few decisions but you'll find the information your looking for if you dig.

Assuming you are more than 300 rating over the special hit cap (which you most likely are) wouldn't prestor be superior to fluid death? Just thinking about which one I should replace first in the future.

Stat weights vary based on your current gear. The best way to know is to run a SimulationCraft with your gear and turn on the stat weight calculation. If you want the EP of exp you'll have to run it twice. Once with positive deltas only and once with normal deltas.

Base Miss is 5%. For Bosses it's 4.4%. (Unless a boss skill can not miss e.g. Baleroc's Inferno Blade).

Try Maintankadin • Index page it's imho the best compendium of information for Tankadins.

Hi guys. Help me choose gear for my character plz. My dps about 26-27k on a patchwerk-style fight. Especially pay attention to my trinkets. I have a normal Hearth of Rage, Essence and trinket from Ragnaross. What to use?

On the options Tab change the iterations to 10000 or more
