Has anyone tested using a different glyph other than WF on Madness of Deathwing? I was thinking LB might be of use since we spend a good amount of time with 20% haste, or perhaps FT weapon?

Hello! Regarding Ultraxion (25 HC), I usually go arcane there so I can do consistent dps and also better dps as fire, I was trying out using mana shield once during every Arcane Power (I have 4t13 oc) to get the spellpower from IA. Unfortunately I can't do the math, but I was wondering if it's worth it. I have SoW, probably not worth it without it but if someone could tell me I would appreciate it

From my personal experience with using mana shield I definetely do less ABs and more AMs, but with the spellpower the damage of spells go way higher, and also if you use it during full cooldowns (not just AP) you can crit for much more, but you burn will a little shorter. I know SimC doesn't supports IA, is Rawr does I couldn't find it? Thanks in advance!

Okay, so when the boss is below 35% and i'm backstabbing do i still do 4+ envenoms or only 5?

You switch to 5cp Envenomns. But what exactly is unclear about that in the Assassination guide?

Vortex Pinnacle: in the circular areas where there are groups of the flying orbs that seem to be such a pain for melee to chase down, mages rule the roost. Before anyone else in the party aggros them, go invisible, blink into the center of the group, cast frost nova to freeze them in place (and remove invisibility), then instantly blizzard them down. It's really easy, fun, and makes for a good show.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that, thanks a lot.

Hello. I'm looking to start HM's and had a few questions.

1. Im currently gemmed towards stam>mastery(27%/3400). Would it be more beneficial if i went back to stacking mastery>stam? I noticed alot of BDKs leaning towards stam recently so i jumped on the band wagon.

2. forgeing SS>SSG?

/targetlasttarget
/cast [@focus,exists] Death Grip
/cast [@focus,exists] Chains of Ice

As the only melee dps, your cleaving the adds is a very big portion of the dmg they'll take, so if they can grip the sappers to the adds where you can cleave onto them, you can increase your dmg time on both of them, allowing them both to die quicker.

Really helped getting the sappers down with this macro

Thank you.

Question about Mainhands. I am a Combat Rogue and have been using Trickster's Edge (ilvl 378, 551.8dps, 2.60 spd) and recently got a Blade of the Unmaker from LFR (ilvl 390, 617.1dps, 1.80 spd). I'm using an ilvl 378 1.4spd dagger in my offhand (Mandible of the Old Ones). So my question is, which mainhand should I use?

I've done a little testing and I'm getting mixed results. Training dummy says the lower level, slower MH does about 1.5k more dps. But it varies a little in LFD, but that could be due to varied buff strength with the random groups. I've always seen the rule of thumb for stat priority as MH DPS > everything else, but I'm not seeing that I'm getting much higher dps if at all from the higher damage (but faster) weapon.

Thoughts?

I just started Cata after a long hiatus since mid-TBC, i played as a resto shaman. I realize theres a big difference in how dungeons/raids are run in Cata compared to vanilla/tbc, everyone just rush through everything, no CCs/Offtanks/Food&drink buffs/soulstone(WTF)/not even strategies, everything is tank and spank.

Need some advice on how you guys heal as a disc priest, im not used to the way they run things now and the big hp pool + low healing power + scrapping of CCs and oom frequency makes it worse,

Would appreciate any advice, healing rotation or add-ons and whatever that helps.

Hi ppl. Never been here before so dont know if this is the right place to post.

But the thing is i am a prot paly,and i have some trubel understanding a thing about the avoidenc. To get my 102.4% ctc should i count my block,parry and dodge together ore should 102.4% just be out of the block?

Yea it might be a stupid question,and i know i suck at spelling in english. But i whould love a answer, and i have read all the things about the prot paly here a several times.

Your parry % + dodge % + block % + 5% (boss miss chance), must be equal to 102.4%

Of course you should count that when raid buffed.
