Im sorry if this was asked and answered earlier in the post and i wish i had more time to look, but between school, job and raiding it would take days.

Anyway

For healing Baleroc I have been using Baleroc Healing Monitor and i know that the addon, when i download it, was still in the initial build phase. But every so often i notice my stacks jumping by 3 whenever i heal with a 3 HP WoG, sometimes not. Does WoG count for 1 stack for every charge of HP?

The instructions are very clear. But they must actually be read to be of assistance.

All three guides for Warlock specs clearly state.

"Hit Rating:
102.45 hit rating gives 1% to hit with spells. Until Hit Cap (17% or 1742 Rating). Once the Cap has been reached, Hit becomes useless."
(emphasis mine)

Hi, i want to discuss some my questions,
I know while after patch 4.2 hotfix , drain life damage reduced, but accourding to simcraft results, it can be stil useable. What do u thing about that?
Drain life: chardev 8 - WoW Cataclysm
Rotation: Standart rotation
1. Simulate……2. Simulate….3. Simulate….4.Simulate…..5. Simulate……Average
26976,0…………27392,2…………27243,2…………27435,5…………27248,1 ………27259,0

Shadow bolt: chardev 8 - WoW Cataclysm
Rotation: Standart rotation
1. Simulate……2. Simulate….3. Simulate….4.Simulate…..5. Simulate……Average
27677,7…………27773,9…………27692,1…………27597,0…………27485,9 ………27645,3

Differences: 27645,3-27259,0 = 386,3 (appx 1,5%)

Accourding to this results drain life still usefull as filler or not? What is your suggestions?

What you're seeing is because of the fight mechanics, not the heal.

You're seeing the jump in 3 stacks when someone has 9-11 stacks of torment on them. As a result, you can get stacked very quickly if you have someone with damage reduction stack even higher.

Tier 12 only becomes useful at the 4 piece level and even then, you probably need at least one heroic piece if you want to outpace 4 pc heroic Tier 11.

I disagree. The general consensus has been T11 -> T12, and T11.5 -> T12.5. The T12 4-set is generally considered to be a relatively unattractive set bonus. The 2-set is the real feature. What evidence are you able to provide in favor of holding off on T12 until the 4-set?

Mjölner · 09/15/11, 8:48 PM

Alright, I have three minor thoughts.

Is it viable to still run insane hit levels?
I've been looking around and most people seem to settle at around 13 - 16% hit, and I've seen some people up over 21%.
I've always been under the impression that even though hit is great, crit is definitely what you rather want to reforge into, and I've definitely noticed an increase in DPS by simply reforging that I can into crit, and currently running with 19.66% crit self-buffed.

Secondly, are people simply choosing TG due to availability of weapons, or is it just that much better?
I know that Mastery ends up on most gear slots either way, and with the way that TG scales better with Mastery than SMF, and the T12 4pc bonus.
Excluding Sulfuras in this, since I most likely won't be getting my hands on that wep for a while.

I'm currently running LtS/AoK as SMF warrior.
I recently came across a Crushing Weight, and every fiber of my being is telling me that it isn't an upgrade, but I've had a few guildmates claiming that it is.
I'm merely asking for confirmation, but LtS and AoK both outweigh Crushing Weight by quite a bit, right?

I apologize if this has been discussed before. I am currently experiencing some issues with my internet so I can't reliably look through the thread.

You can try to spec out of divine purpose and art of war for comparison reasons. Once you have found the perfect setup spec into it again. This solution provides except for the rng of critical strikes a non-random base for further analysis.

Pliers · 09/16/11, 1:20 AM

I would think that speccing out of them completely would skew the results pretty heavily.

I'd say do multiple tests with each method to figure out the average damage of each attack, and then figure out how it would play out with varying numbers of DP procs. Mathing it out is going to be more reliable than testing.

I tested yesterday BM vs Shannox HC, so single target, its really great, i reached 30k dps. You can see the fight here.

So... Havent played for 3 years, just dinged 85. Got all the glyphs and shitty gear. What is best in slot before I go raiding for serious?

Should I just farm instances til I get good enough gear for heroics, and then farm them till I can start raid? What is the first raid I should aim for?

Fullmaster · 09/16/11, 4:01 PM

I'm not sure if it's permitted to post things like this here. Many people come to this site looking for a few quick answers in addition to general in depth discussion on topics; I made something suited to the former and I'd like to share if from it someone might be helped.

Excuse me if I say this, but wasn't this thread reserved for keeping an overview on blue posts and not discussing a possible legendary item we might get?
