The frontal arc would not hit you, but the other strikes will, KS simply lasts too long.

I believe [Qon's Flaming Scimitar] is actually better than [Kilrak, Jaws of Terror] as a second weapon for DW. Since it is possible to socket the legendary gem only into one weapon even when dualwielding, kil'rak has actually less stats than the scimitar.

Kil'rak :592 str, 887 stamina, 400 hit, 385 mastery

Total 592 str, 785 secondary stat.

Scimitar: 512 str,887 stamina, 360 hit, 345 mastery, 320 stat [hit, or hit + expertise] + 60 mastery from socket

Total 512 str, 1085 secondary stat.

The tradeoff is 80 str for 300 of secondary stat which should be a dps increase considering the stat weights for DW. Thoughts?

Not sure if you guys deal in PVP much, but i imagine comeone will have wise words to contribute to this query:

seal of truth provides 12% wep dmg + censure, while seal of justice provides 18% wep damage and a permaslow (while within melee range).
im guessing the damage output of censure would eventually overtake that 6% given enough time to tick at 5 stacks, but im interested to know what period of time we would be talking about here. I run a double dps 2's team and its my experience that ending the fight within 10 seconds is most recommended without a healer. for a fight as short as that is it worth opening with SoT or SoJ?

another short query somewhat relevant to this, Judgement's tooltip still advises it unleashes a seals energy. how does this mechanic work with SoJ and SoT? i believe it applies the % dmg to the judge as its delivered physically, but thats not really "unique" to judgement as it does that with white swings and CS as part of the seal rather than the judgement.

(and no im not a big fan of seal swapping mid fight, i like my GCD put to good use)

ok I have a quick question I'm rolling with 496 helm of the restoring wind and 483 melevolent pvp gloves. Stat wise alone the helm and gloves are better than the 483 raid finder token helm and the 483 raid finder token gloves, however would it be worth it to switch to the 2 token pieces of gear for the 2 pc set bonus ? Thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi

I recently got Shin'ka (LFR) and previous to that had the Starshatter from Elegon.

Due to Starshatter I was Arms spec, and when I got Shin'ka I stayed arms, but would it be better to go Fury with those two weapons?

My guild are just about to start raiding normal mode MoP so want to be in the best position for aiding our 'slow' progress

Thanks in advance.

Any calculations about how much stronger (or not) a slow OH is in comparison to a fast OH of the same DPS range?

Not talking about the problems with the KS Usage like Garalon where you could prefer a faster OH for the same amount of energyregen but more poison proccs.

I am askin that, cause a few rogues (and roguetwinks) of relatively good guilds, where a gearing problem shouldnt be significant, are wearing some daggers in their OH's.

I noticed that the trinket section of the guide is blank. I am still looking for a place to rank the trinkets. I am most curious where the DMF trinket ranks. And if DMF is not a BIS normal trinket or even Herioc then is it LOC EOT? Thanks for your help.

So.. I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering this but does Lynx Rush still do more dps than Blink Strike with the 5.1 patch? I really liked Blink strike and it would be awesome to swap back to it if Lynx Rush is no longer better.

Also on that note, if Lynx rush is still better, is it still a good idea to macro it with Rabid? I currently have BW, Rabid & Lynx Rush macroed to one button

Did someone tested Heroic Starshatter vs [Shin'ka, Execution of Dominion] normal + 500str gem?

Eliza · 11/29/12, 5:02 AM

Just a quick question, since I am not sure which is better:

[Helmet of the Thousandfold Blades]
[Tunic of the Thousandfold Blades]
(-> 4 pieces wearing then)

or

[Red Smoke Bandana]
[Chestguard of Nemeses]

Didn't made some check about the DPS of Lynx vs Blink since yesterday, but i can answer the 2nd part :
As Rabid don't give AP anymore, there's no reason to macro it with Lynx Rush.
I made some changes in my macro. Lynx Rush is now off macro and here is my primary macro :

#showtooltip Bestial Wrath
/use 14
/cast Bestial Wrath
/cast Blood Fury
/cast Rabid

So why that ? It's quite simple. Enchancing the attack speed under BW buff will simply make it more efficient as you'll get more attacks multiplied by BW.
As BW is 60sec CD, Blood fury 120sec and rabid 84 you can expect to have this buff rotation:

0 : BW + Bloodfury + Rabid + Lynx Rush

60 : BW

84 : Rabid

90 : Lynx Rush

120 : BW + Bloodfury

180 : BW + Rabid + Lynx Rush

Notice that i dealy a few sec of Rabid to make it stack with other as it's up at 168 and i pop it at 180. Making it easyer to stack up as you won't be able to catch up a stacking if you don't delay it.
Keep in mind that i don't include the CD reset caused by Readiness here, it's just a quick overview.

AotIH surprising last minute buff, item (epic and blue) upgrades.

As every spec get this it don't help MM catch up BM or SV anyway.

Made some dummy test and it looked cool. Until i understood that SS and AimS were currently at 100% Crit since the dummy never fell under 80 Health.

Made some In-Raid test and even with this new flexibility on the 20sec buff it still don't look nice. The other BM hunter in the raid made like 20% more damages.
The +75% Crit opener on the first 20% of the boss look like crap from a BM opener. Even with add in the fight that help you by giving you some extra +75% crit time it don't worth it.

Hello, I have a question about 5.1 patch notes in regards of Pandemic change. Is it a buff, nerf or something else?
Thank you in advance.

Pandemic no longer smooths the damage when extending dots with different amounts of spellpower.
