While I have not researched the issue in depth myself, I know that many moonkins are up in arms about the sub-par itemization they are looking forward to in Ulduar (spirit and hit heavy gear for a spec that does not make great use of spirit and only needs 9-10% hit; plus a lackluster 4 piece bonus). While this sucks as they will likely try to snap up cloth items more than ever, it very well might limit their dps effectively.

Can't comment on DKs and Rets.

i use the razer tarantular keyboard and razer lachesis mouse also i recomend a nice frosted glass steel series mouse mat

the reason i have points in cataclysm is because i am gonna be switchin out the hit gems for haste gems. cause my haste is only a lil over 400 an i am aimin for over 500 at least..with out my spellstone. would love to get it close to 600 but with the lack of sockets..im gonna be losin alot of spell damage if i do so. so just switchin some hit out for haste. an when the patch comes out..i gotta put those points into supression.

i tweaked it some..but i do have a question. y put the points in imp void. if it only gives my fel guard 3% increase. i mean i had them in it..but i took them out..cause every1 kept tellin me i didnt need it cause i never ever use my void walker anymore. my felguard or imp is always out.


now with the new patch comin out. that is gonna be a big thing for me. i looked at the talent tree redo..an have played with it on ptr..an it seems that affliction is still gonna pone me..so can u make a suggestion on that as well if u dont mind.

well,according with MaxDPS.com - World of Warcraft Gear Rankings - News ,Surge Needle Ring is the best one atm
droped for me on 3rd Malygos run,good thing that is BOE item and unlucky ppl can get it from AH..4-6k on my server,but is worth in my opinion
Also,with Frosted androit gloves and leggings of failed escape,assuming that you are hit caped,you can change grim toll with Nobles Deck ..ofcourse not cheap but worthly

First off Force of Nature and Starfall are both decent dps and well worth picking up for the one point. You shouldn't really need any points in dreamstate if you already have intensity and OoC. You should probably also pick up Nature's Splendor to lower the amount of refreshing you might have to do.

Gearwise the major glaring flaw i see is that you have the completely wrong meta, you should have the chaotic skyflare diamond in there. Also its minor but if you aren't having stamina troubles i would switch to the spellpower spirit leg patch.

How much DPS do you make on a Heroic Training Dummy (Boss)? I make about 2.4k to 2.6k with 4 of 5 tier 7.5. My Rotation is J > CS > DS > Cons without HoW. I take care....

3.02 Speed @ 308 Haste
4346 Attack Power (Selfbuffed with improved BoM)
163 Hit Rating
37.25 % Crit
12 Expertise

My DPS sucks, or? I need help.

Dummies are unfit to visualize raid dps, yes, but they are a useful measure when comparing data against the same class. Waiting a week for something like Patch in order to see if tweaks you've made have helped our hindered isn't the best situation, and I think Dummy DPS could be used as a baseline for those that need to "un-suck."

Edit: That said, last time I remember using the dummies I was around 2700dps self buffed. No idea how it compares to others, but there you are.

Hey guys I'm a first time poster so I'm sry if this is a bad post or posted in the wrong place. After scowering the forums for info I can't help but wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if I could be doing something better (DPS wise), and since EJ seems to be the most concise source I figured I'd ask you guys.

Right now I'm using Heart Strike as my primary attack and prioritize it above all others. The only time I do DC's are when Sudden Doom procs, and the only time I do Oblit's are right before my diseases are about to tick off so as to not waste them. Basically if Heart Strike is available, I'm hitting it unless my diseases need to be re-done. As you can see in my chart Oblit is not carrying as much weight as my top two and I'm wondering if it should be higher? Should I be using Oblit as my primary? Also, with haste affecting melee swing rates and it being my second contributor should I be investing in some haste?

Thanks in advance. Btw, the chart is from 25 Naxx and I got two new pieces of gear that aren't factored in.

Hey guys.
I know that most specs seem to be very close, but for the people testing out blood and unholy specs, what rotations do you use. If you could tell me a good blood and unholy rotation in 3.1, I would be very happy

nevermind
