I have been pounding my head on the wall trying to figure out why my Seed is hitting for a 1,000 less than a lock not geared as well with a similar spec. Thoughts?

Wow, just wow.

Thank you!

I'll keep my stupidity off the boards from this point forward.

As of right now on life, the Egg still procs for Damaging Spells, however after some testing on a test dummy on the PTR I didn't receive one proc from the Egg, so I am assuming that they finally fixed the bug come the next patch.

I've seen it said that below 25%, you should start Drain Soul. However, could someone tell me when I should be doing it? Do I drop SB and use Drain Soul as filler in between refreshing dots?

I have been looking through this thread looking for a DW spec, but the problem I'm running into is that everyone is using WoWHead or MMOChampion talent trees, and none of them are up to date with the most recent talent tree changes. Does anyone have an updated talent tree spec they can show?

Hordikos, the person that you read about specified that it was fixed on the PTR. NOT live.

That's including the 4pc T7 bonus on all profiles though right?

How is MM holding up against other hunters/classes in the PTR?

I guess an issue for balancing vs surv is that if we are equal in DPS, we'll have it much better, esp in PvP as we'll have more access to instant shots. I don't mind being a little behind surv spec but not by much and def still higher than the hybrid DPS classes.

I also have a request if anyone could be so kind...The spreadsheet says it can't find me in the armoury, maybe it's an Excel for Mac issue but I really need some info. Could someone see what my DPS is now and what difference it would make if I changed the family ring for the ring of scarlet shadows with an infused gem (getting me to the hit cap w/o FA) and I swap out the point in FA to UF, ISS or WQ? I'll owe you one!

Hi, been lurking for a while and so recently signed up.

I have been specced Unholy for a while, but it's become quite boring and feel I have achieved all I can with it, so I respecced to 51/0/20. I feel my gear is good enough now to pull it off quite well (there are some improvements that I am working on, namely gems) and so was wondering what rotation is best at the moment.

Is it the 2 OB 2 HS rotation or the 1 OB 4 HS rotation? Do you need SoA for the first rotation to be better? Until it drops, is the starter sigil better than the badge one?

Any advice would be great!

If somebody could try out a run with a Meta/Ruin spec but do a "what if" all demonology buffs applied to the Doomguard as if it was a Felguard - that would be very interesting. I am trying to figure out if doing that would just make deep Demonology and Destruction builds able to use/competitive with the Doomguard, or would it be OP?

However with BM, Marks, and Survival coming closer in estimated dps, and armor pen only applying to 55-60% of the BM's damage (compared to 75-85% of survival or marks), there really is no comparison.

Consequently, the majority of Ulduar gear would seem to benefit Marks and Survival more than BM. However, this is a trend that has taken place throughout WotLK so far. Haste in T7. Armor Pen in T8. Maybe T9 will have more of the pure stats, like Agi/AP and then all three specs will start to shine.

I agree that perhaps the more pure stats will be Blizz choice in the t9 gear with gem slots or more class specific enchants..I like the dual spec idea aswell ....Any news as to when 3.1 is coming ?
