Speaking of spell rotations... what are you guy's thoughts on MoP Shadow Priest rotation changes?

Hamsda · 09/04/12, 8:32 AM

Ok, thank you very much.

On a different note:
I'm mainly a healer but for our alt raid I play my hunter and a guild mate made me aware of the current state of simulated dps according to simcraft.
I was wondering if hunter dps (as far as I know that simulation is against a single target) are really that low compared to some of the other classes or whether there are any bugs or explanations for the situation?
I'm kind of worried if hunter is the right decision but the class was always fun to play. The difference looks pretty large though

However not based on numbers or experience, I wouldn't worry too much about DPS balance. Blizzard is getting better with DPS balance every patch.
Also, SimC is likely to be inaccurate, whether that is in coding or in rotational behaviour.
Depending on what they do with the aspects (they also said they wouldn't aim to keep the aspects like pre-5.0.4), hunters are very flexible in movement / kiting. It looks like BM will be the spec-to-go in MoP and BM has good burst, so we'll not be the steady DPS role like SV / MM made us, allowing us to time the vast amount of CDs we have gotten with damage increased phases etc.

I'll test this later to verify however my initial guess would be that it gives 15% max health and increase your health to 15% if below that.

My assumption is that it greatly depends on how much healing will be absorbed by purgatory. If less than 15% of your health, you will live but if greater, you will die. I'll verify.

Aren't you beautiful? Thank you very mush, rumours are burned

I am adding a notification to my addon (JSHB) and would like to be sure I get this right.

I want to show a flag when an ability like (Blood Fury, Murder of Crows, Lynx Rush, etc - cooldowns) is best to be used, as in the player should delay casting these abilities until a certain condition is met (and alternatively when conditions are too far off to wait - but this part can be derived from the first).

Should Murder be cast only when Bestial Wrath (for example in BM) is up as a best time, etc. (example, just picked a spell to use).

Thank You for any help!

PS. Normally I would not be for something like this, but feel that this would greatly help DPS and allow a player to pay more attention to their surrounding as opposed to keep their eyes mainly on the timers to decide this on the fly. I know it can be done with some practice, but regardless - what is best practice on any of these.

Sup all I am having problems what is the top dps class since the patch some are saying sub other assination, nobody claims ombat is even relevant anymore.

If you're playing 2h frost the way it should be, not saying you're not, but RE should be better. With rune dumping and then RP dumping the way it works out.

same with fdcl, it lasts 10 sec and stacks twice so you should refresh VT before, if necessary.

imo fdcl is stronger than the improved fiend, the fiend only does around 33% more dmg and fdcl was around 9% of my total dmg + it provides an instant spell where you can reposition.

they changed the whole gameplay and the feeling it comes with, i'm really happy that they changed the shadoworbs but it still has a lot of RNG, but at least it cant ruin your whole start with a little bad luck.
what i hope for is that they change the MB proc into a free MB that doesnt affect the current cd, like this it can be a split secont that decides if its completely useless or gets you an orb 6 secs faster.

will there be a "MoP shadow only" thread soon? used to come to elitist every day a couple of months back but now there is hardly anything for shadows to read.

Chillbow · 09/05/12, 3:11 PM

Thanks fellas! So, as of right now at lvl 85, are those pvp trinkets better then my current trinks?

MÜU · 09/05/12, 8:01 PM

Im accuelly finding DK tanks squishy at the moment. I arn't in heroic gear but since the patch it feels like im only in Raid finder gear. Healers are also saying theres a big diffrence. Has something changed? Is my Death Strike not working properly or.... I honestly don't under-stand whats changed. Im doing 10k more dps as a tank but taking at least 10k more dps. The weights seem to be wrong or something. Can someone please inform me on whats wrong? Is this happening with all tanks?

Hello. Im playing WoW for a long time, but never play DK. It's all because i always cant understand the basic rules of right use runes, i mean what i should seek doing rotation (as frost and as blood). Thank you

I had this long well written answer to one of the macros when I realized there was no need anymore due to Insect Swarm being removed for Druids

.
So instead I am posting wondering if anyone has any macros they really love, or any that they would like help being made/refining. Macros is a hobby of mine and if I can't get one made off the top of my head I will find out what it will take.

Sorry in advance if this post isn't constructive, just trying to get it out there that I want to help out.

I was just testing as well- murder of crows definitely scales with BM mastery now.

Froststorm breath now scales with physical haste. The improved serpent sting refresh issue appears to also be fixed. I'm sure there's other stuff still that needs testing, but that's all I thought to check.

My site's been updated with the latest mechanics.

Thanks for confirm the Murder Scaling with mastery, this put definitely Murder above Lynx Rush for BM now.
