Thanks for the input, I'll give that a shot on Wednesday and let you know how it goes.

No guy, you should use soulburn > fel hunter after you got all dots up (Immolate, Corruption, Bane of Doom), because of the shadow bite.

Im stuck i guess

I hear mastery > Crit in 392+ gear however i downloaded reforginator which i see a lot of locks using and it tells me to reforge mastery to crit....

So im a goblin, haste is at 2529 hit is at 1756

Do i need to stack crit or mastery

Thanks for the help

Maybe it's name of incomming 4th spec? I see this nerfs were needed because locks were too op.

You don't understand me. Who would like spec name "Threatening Presence".

Blizz still don't delete glyph and testing it. Armor for warlocks was too big, but on some encounters will be really bad, Warmaster Blackhorne with armor reduction. I would ask about mastery scaling on reduction damage.

ill look at that more indepth later... dragon roar is def useful in single target as it is, dont know on its scaling tho

javelindog · 04/07/12, 6:16 PM

yeah makes sense, needs looking at to confirm but that looks right after a quick check there is a difference.

the big question for me on this is wether you can use either BS or DR in a single target rotation effectively and which is more effective. Im very interested in scaling of these talents, tho im leaning towards DR for lower cd and minimal disruption to rotation.

oh on a note for that is sweeping strikes and Dragon Roar stack, which can proc a bucket of damage, i gathered up 5 adds and basically one shot all of them with that, with reck up it would be huge, i do hope it scales well

is everyone ok with haunt using a soul shard? i think that was a horrible idea, but i also dont know what our rotation is supposed to look like in MoP

Double post.

can a mage still be competitive with other classes without the legendary staff? I didn't play much during Firelands, and now that nobody goes through firelands, I don't think I'll be getting the staff before MOP.

i'm working on replacing the 2 pieces of 378 that i have but it doesn't account for the extreme DPS disparity that i'm experiencing.

its sort of depressing how bad i am atm -- i know i'm following dps rotations / spell priorities correctly, but i'm still doing ~10k dps less than our median dps.

SellionEU · 04/10/12, 4:58 AM

Has anyone here tried going for full DPS gemming? I read a post on MMO about a guy who gemmed strength right through his gear, he also capped hit and maximized his expertise. DKs overall do a lot of damage even with mastery/stam-gems but I'm considering changing gems just for the lulz. Thoughts?

Is there any reason why the 502 (Bad Gateway) still persists?

Archaene · 04/10/12, 10:00 PM

I'm sure this has been covered but I can't seem to find it.

I find myself energy capped far too often with the T13 2P but because of priorities such as explosive shot, I can't use more than 2 arcane shots before I need to use ES again and then steady shots to gain energy again.

My point being, should I use 3+ arcane and 1 steady if I'm capped and ES is on cd? Or 2 and 2?

I feel like I'm near the top as far as DPS for my gear do maybe I'm doing it right but I wanted to make sure.

On my phone so grammar is probably off a bit, sorry.

I've been running some tests for a while on aspect switching. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the same thing. It seems that excess amounts of aspect switching, at least in my testing, can result in a small but significant dps loss.

I tried to execute a number of different rotations with different levels of aspect switching.

Rotation A was where I always used Aspect of the Fox when using a Cobra Shot, and then switched to Aspect of the Hawk for all other instant shots.

Rotation B was where I switched to Aspect of the Fox for Cobra Shot, but only switched to Aspect of the Hawk when my focus was close to full and I was dumping focus. So some instants were used when in Aspect of the Fox.

I would expect Rotation A to provide more dps than Rotation B, but that was not the case.

Over 20 minute duration

Rotation A - 25,294 dps

Rotation B - 26,546 dps

Any thoughts on this?

Just wanted to say a quick thanks to Onaga, who kindly sent through a Scroll earlier this week. Unfortunately someone beat you to the punch, but thanks all the same!

Anywho, I've sidetracked this topic enough,
