Dancing steel is way better though.

hi,
since my gear is decent and i know haste isn't worth the big numbers as in low gear anymore, i toyed with SimC and stat weights tell me Str is worth more than Haste, so i should enchant Strength on Gloves, right? or am i missing something?

edit: Ofcourse 170 exp would still be better but i have to reforge out from exp anyway, and its getting even worse in BiS

Are there any haste plateaus for SV & BM?
I only found this post related to that topic.

There are also SV hunter that use MoC, is it the best choice? does it snapshot?

Would anyone happen to have a copy of the spreadsheet posted here? I play on a classic wow server and this would be very helpful for our community.
I apologize for bumping such an old thread, but I PM'ed Lactose and he no longer has copies.
Thank you!

Until 5.1 goes live, and we lose Pyro ticks in Combustion (makes me a sad mage), I am having an issue spreading combustion. I realize that I want to have Ignite and Pyro! ticking before I cast Combustion. That is not the issue. The issue arrises when I want to spread Combustion, since IB is on cooldown from upgrading HU. Is it worth firing off IB without HU to spread Combustion, and possibly missing out on Pyro! procs until the IB CD is up?

Edit: I just saw that Combustion resets the IB cooldown. Am I understanding that correctly?

MarshallX · 11/06/12, 1:41 PM

That's right. If you HU->IB->Pyro->Combustion IB cooldown will be reset.

Pretty simple question, but are there any haste break points that are well known already? Such as which are easiest to achieve and stick w/ until higher geared, but then what those would be after. Any input would be awesome, thnx.

Hey there. I'm experiences quite a dilemma, as for now, i can reach the haste cap, but my DPS only moves like 2-3k up on dummies, with my own buss that is, but i find it hard to compete with other from my guild, and we're fairly even geared. but on garalon my DPS is like 20-30k lower than the others (i'm on Trail duty), is that working as intendet, or am i just really bad at playing the Moonkin class?

and on another side, what do you reforge for when doing challenge modes, pure mastery or just crit?

antiscian · 11/06/12, 4:17 PM

Can you guys clarify this part?

Inferno Blast when HU procs, then Pyro
(Pyro only if Pyro! and HU have both procced)

So I have a swing timer set up from weak auras, and I'm trying to game KM procs as much as I can but the speed of my swings and what's going on around me its getting more and more difficult. Downsy @ Eredar - Community - World of Warcraft would gemming strength over haste be a massive damage loss and if not would setting up KM procs with oblits more reliably be a net gain at all or a small loss?

big_stace · 11/07/12, 4:22 PM

Guys i wouldnt normally post anything like this but im in serious need of help i normally play a resto shami and because of all the helpfull tips from this site im pretty flipping good but i wanna try pala out for MoP and i suck, suck hard. im not used to being 2nd on the heal meter let alone 6 or 7 and healing half of what the others are ive gone through many guildes and tested stuff but when it comes to raid day i quickly realise how bad i am at it.

the rota i been using is holy shock on cooldown, 3 stacks of holy power and eternal flame on tanks and spam small heal and if i need to grp heal its holy rad + light of dawn of 3 stacks

if anyone could give me any help it would be very much appreciated.

this is my last try before i hang up my holy pala boots

Thanks a lot Jessamy.

With mastery reforge I got 71085 dps
If I simulate with haste reforge i got 71557 dps

Both haste or mastery reforge seems ok (less than 500dps between them).
Do you think this small dps increase worth it compared to the loss of aoe/cleave damage (avg HB is 52K with mastery reforge, 49K with haste reforge) ?

I had a question about the BiS list, the [Plated Locust Bracers] are a zone drop in Heart of Fear, meaning that there is most likely not a heroic version of them since heroic trash drops are not implemented, so would that put [Bonded Soul Bracers] as BiS for 2h frost?

Zigazaha · 11/08/12, 4:40 AM

Found this post just now
Wild Quiver
the claim is that wild quiver has been changed to do 100% of weapon damage on proc rather than 80%, but I can't seem to find a blue post or any information confirming this claim.
Is this just a fictional post or have I missed something?
Also I wonder if the combination of the lynx rush nerf, CA buff, and WQ buff would be enough to equalize marks as a spec (I hope so).

hey peeps

ive been doing my research and im successfully tanking raid bosses in an " Control" build, where im near hit cap and exp is coming up, but my question with people who are always using this style of tanking... what gems so you use in what slot??

atm ive put all my gems with mastery 160 and 1 other stat in each socket, hit and expertised mixed in. ive also set my addon "reforgelite" to put expertise as prio over mastery till im 15% expertise cap then focus on mastery.

My character is a BS aswell

i know this may been noobish but id like to thoughts of fella peeps since this site has always been on the top list of info like this.
