As mentioned numerous times in this thread, the stat values are before all buffs, such as fel armor.

Then how would one take these numbers as being an accurate calculation of actual dps? I question this because of the boost the imp and FG get from improved Fel Armor itself. It's a fairly decent amount, compared to that of 53/0/18 which does not have this taken into account.

Sorry if I am out of line here, but I'm new to the whole "SIMCRAFT" deal and am just trying to understand exactly what I am seeing before I start running SIMS of my own.

It tells you "this is the gear that was used for this simulation", it does not say "these were the full talented and buffed stats the player had during the simulation". All buffs and talents are accounted for.

didn't do the math on it but I'm 99% sure that you would need an unrealistic amount of ArPen to let it be better than agi/ap/crit

We have begun 3- and 4-manning heroics in Northrend with Brew Meisters. It is certainly difficult to 3-man the upper dungeons (Occulus, Utgarde Pinnacle, Halls of Stone, etc). To be technically correct, we still have 5 guys in the battle, but we take 3 or 4 well-geared members in, and the 1 or 2 poorly geared guys are alts of guild members. This way, we are able to gear up our alts easier than setting up full runs and progression. I suppose it is similar to using 80s to run low-level alts through low-level instances. It has certainly helped us gear up secondary healers and tanks, which can be a pain to gear.

Good Mindcontrolling is the key

I will contact you!

Will contact you!

I have tried some Hunter macro's but it all really doesn't work out well. Any suggestions?

Boost succubus! I like the idea of that

Thnx for the mod!

Am hoping for epic alchemist stone.

Not sure, please someone?

For those twink lovers. Checkout the timbermaw herbpouch offhand thingy. Doesnt have levelrequirement but does heal quite a nice amount. Great for a priest twink in example. Ask a friend's help and you can get it done.

This is an uber summary. One of the best on any site. Thanks so much!

HIT RATING - Under or over Max

I am under the 17% cap and Recount tells me that I am not missing any targets.

Is there any point in maxing Hit when you are not missing targets?

My affl mate insists his DPS has gone up since going over the Hit Cap.

Is increasing Hit over the cap of any benefit - I'm guessing NO

Thanks again.

Hello guys. First time poster here but I've been following this thread for several months. I'm just curious as too what off set pieces we might want to pick up and swap stuff around too keep the 4pc T7. I know up above Method mentioned that using the Plated Leggings of Ruination since they were BiS. But until we can get those is there anything worth getting too swap out gloves,chest,etc. Any info would be great. Thanks guys.

I seem to remember reading a thread about "PTR Class DPS", linking logs and all sorts of charts with regards to current PTR dps, on Uludar encounters. I can't seem to remember where I read it though, it was either here or on the WoW US forums somewhere... anyone know what I'm talking about?

hugsofdeath · 04/07/09, 9:52 PM

I recently switched to 0/55/16, and can't seem to find a rotation better than any other.. i seem to do the same dps wether i use CoD/coor/imm/spam SB, or if i use SB all the time(going meta before both). which is about 3400dps or so with my currentgear..

could someone look at my character and my gear and give me some tips on what gear to look out for,and what is better then what i have now??

The World of Warcraft Armory

and also is the link below a good site to go by when grinding for gear??

Alright well I am pretty new to elemental shaman and dont really know how to gem/enchant my items. I am a JCer so I have access to the JCers gems I am assuming i should use all 3 SP ones? I am also stuck on waht to do about a meta gem what do most of you guys use? And then for the rest of my Red/blue slots.

As for enchanting should I be getting some haste enchants as well as spell power? Seems to me like that would be the best is. I appreate any help.

Your meta should be Chaotic Skyflare Diamond, there is NO other option, end of story. Your gems should be 19 spellpower if you're hit capped (263 for your Draenei shaman) or 16 hit if you're not capped. Your JC gems (spellpower ones) should be used in blue slots to get desired gem bonuses, preferably spellpower or hit (and if those aren't available, haste).

So, in essence:

hit until roughly 263 > spellpower > haste. Ignore crit, you don't need anymore than you'll easily get anyway.

In other news: drop your totem. Seriously, my heart pains when I see people use that piece of crap. Go to Venture Bay (grizzly hills) and get a blue totem (boost to lava burst) doing the dailies there or at the very least get someone to boost you in Mechanaar. Hell, even the level 70 haste totem is better than what you're currently using. Yes, that item is THAT bad.
