Even if your specific gearing puts expertise slightly higher then hit, nothing changes in your reforge priority. Not capping hit/expertise really isn't a option, so whether expertise or hit comes out ahead means nothing.

I would be interested to see if your value for Haste/Crit/Mastery changes, then we would have a topic of conversation. Otherwise, the stat weights will remain as they are in the OP.

When I mean stat weights I meaning like numbers like hit is 2.16 and Expertise 2.45 that you would use on wowreforge or askmrrobot. That's where my issues lie not stat priorities.

Somewhat off-topic, but I could certainly use an answer: What is the best race for a raiding Horde Fire Mage in MoP? It must be Troll, Orc, or Pandaren - has anyone run the numbers?

It is most certainly troll due to Berserking. Use it correctly with Alter Time and you will gain a DPS boost that no other race can match.

Hey all. I have 2 pieces of gear with +intel socket bonus stats. At first I used the combo gems in order to get the socket bonus, but my mana regen doesn't seem to be holding up in MV 10. If I were to swap the hybrid gems for pure spirit, I would gain 480 spirit and lose 340 Intel. That would leave me with 11675 intel and 10050 spirit unbuffed. Would this be the correct move? And are there benchmarks out there for How much spirit we should have before stacking intel, if at all?

I did 2 different DPS cycles test currently on the raiding dummy (self-buffed) and in my current gear set (Armory):

Using:
1. TPx3 > RSK > FOF > BOK (with cooldowns), I came to ~54k DPS. I also kept up the TP buff.
2. TPx3 > RSK > BOK, also keeping up the TP buff came to be ~60-61k DPS.

I dunno, it just doesn't seem ideal to use FOF at all, especially in situations where you can't really be steady for too long or if something happens and you have to cut it short...kind of a waste of chi tbh. Theoretically it could prove to be ideal to have it in there but the advantage over using 2 BOK in it's place is so very slight I don't think it will honestly matter.

Thoughts?

Your anecdotal evidence of a single iteration on raid dummies is absolutely useless. Randomness in procs, damage ranges and the human factor makes it useless information.

How so? It easily compares 2 numbers on what I, myself, and me did in the game. Not to mention you lose auto attacks while channeling a spell...as melee. Pretty sure it's not useless but you must have a different definition of the term. Oh well, good day chap!

No, it's absolutely useless. It has already been shown that FoF will be a damage increase(all things considered), so your conclusions based on your faulty data is also wrong. Every single thing you said is either wrong or is based upon flawed assumptions and flawed data. You should keep stuff like that out of a theorycrafting discussion. Thank you, chap.

Edit: And even worse, if someone just checks in on this thread now and doesn't read a few pages back to get the proper information they will get misinformed, so your post actually hurts the community.
