Awesome, I knew about the SR change but didn't think about the talent, thanks for the answers, the assigned values make a lot more sense now : )

My question is: why did it hit you for 1? Did you encounter a rounding error or some equally absurd thing?

My next question is: did they have to patch the game to use 64-bit numbers for damage (or god forbid, floating point) when they added C'thun, or did they plan for damage to get that big from the beginning? The 40th sucker in a total pull failure takes something on the order of 22B damage, which is comfortably outside the range of a 32-bit integer. Come to think of it, they probably do use floating point.

Ah, yeah that makes sense. I'll switch to OB sigil/badge ring + Gossamer's + Grim Toll. The extra effect on Gossamer's just seems useless to me, so I initially decided on 95 parry and an extra cooldown. Thanks alot!

PS. I just tried your Frost rotation in a 25naxx and it worked wonders

Ok, my main since i started playing wow about a year ago was a mage, and to be perfectly honest its getting a bit tedious, standing still and casting a 2/3 button rotation every fight is not my idea of a fun class anymore, so i rolled a hunter a few weeks ago, its level 38 at the moment, iv got a couple of heirloom items which are speeding up the levelling slightly. My plans for level 80 are a MM spec, looking at it i think it would be lots of fun to play, my question: im considering making a spec that is viable for both pve and pvp, im not concerned about owning the damage meters, as long as the tanks dont beat me. Does anyone have any experience where this idea is actually viable?

ROFL, well I guess I'm glad to have comtributed to simcraft then. See, one never knows what they may find by running constant tests on every whim.

Moregorl · 03/19/09, 10:01 AM

ok im confused, been an Affliction lock for as long as I have played and now looks like destro is the way to go

What's the rotation for the 40/31 build that is currently topping the sim. I'm way too tired to make sense of the OP.

ulnar · 03/19/09, 10:20 AM

Dont worry, affliction locks will still be fine

Fallowing raid situation:
Moonkin/SPriest dies - Afflictions still have the 3% hit talent with leads us to two different situations:

The 0/40/31 got more hit from gear, because he wants to be capped always OR
He stacked also spellpower but now he will miss the boss - makes him sad :/

Or something like that.

Should I go Fireball? The World of Warcraft Armory (my current gear)

If I switch out chest for Heigan's Putrid Vestment
Current Trinkets for: Dying Curse / Sundial (which is better for fireball? sundial or spider?)
and Band of Channeled Magics for Signet of Mal

giving me 385 Hit rating.

should I switch to Fireball? would it really bring more DPS than Arcane? (we also have another Fireball Mage... but he's DPS is kinda low compared to the Arcane Mages for some reason (the fireball mage in guild) The World of Warcraft Armory ... his dps is usually like a lot lower... which is why I posted, to see why top mages even go Fireball, he seems to have pretty good gear am I wrong? when I say lower I mean... like 1000 dps lower...

Its funny how you can say you 'searched around and didnt find anything', specifically because there is a thread dedicated to that very topic. And while it may not be the most active thread on the Rogue boards, it still gets enough replies to keep it consistently towards the top. Stop 'slacking', in your words, and learn to search better.

Sinless · 03/19/09, 12:27 PM

With fights being so short I doubt going Fireball will give you higher dps. Hell, I would go Frostfire instead for at least better damage on trash (which constitutes much of a raid night now that every boss is on farm by even the worst pick up groups)

Yeah well I guess it was to much work for your azz to direct me to it then if I magically missed it while searching, obviously I would not ask here If I found it since this would take longer time for me to get replies anyways..

Chardev.org v6 - 11% warlock
and
Chardev.org v6 - 14% warlock

Thanks I didn't see that.
