How about 0/41/30? Last I looked it wasn't that far behind 0/40/31 and it doesn't have conflag. Can it still stand up to affliction?

Yes 0/41/30 can stand up to affliction for now. Problem is down the road 0/41/30 starts having scaling issues. The lastest sims are up.

In that case, obviously you choose someone else to Tricks.

As for the threat issue, that was answered about starting with this post. In the situation where there is a question of threat, it is equally beneficial to TotT the tank, and increase the threat cap for the entire raid, allowing them to do more damage and raising rDPS.

My apologies then, I guess I missed those posts. 63 pages is a lot to sift through!

Edit: Didn't mean to make a post and I can't figure out how to delete this one?

I hope they will do something for the destu spec

So is the conflag hotfix actually live right now? Or is it in the process of being implemented.

Could someone explain to me how Meta spec is superior to affliction? I love meta and would like some help on using it. (Rotation, when to pop meta, etc)

Since our guild is in need of one DK i rerolled from Retri to DK.
God i cant understand you. Everything at the Retri elitistjerks forum is easy and understandable but the way Dk forum is, is just weird. Why do you post a blood frost and unholy dps topic. There must be 1 superiour so why keep talking about the other 2? Its just a mess for someone who wants to learn Dk to read through all this nonsense. "I use this rotation" "I use that rotation". There must be 1 rotation for single dps for instance which is superiour to the rest.

The repair guy, close to the entrance, he seems almost, but not quite, entirely unlike some figure from Madmax, does'nt he? This struck me as a guild member wonderd why a goblin would ride on an ogre :-)

So, why is agi assumed the best stat? In Vulajin's sheet I always got more DPS out of AP over agi.

Just as I started to like the new hybrid spec, they screw it up. Now that the conflag damage has been completely nerfed, is it safe to say that 0/41/30 is a safe choice, or should I learn how to play affliction and spec that way?

Excellent post. Thank you for this.

Faqs really helpfull, great fan of your work and sense of humour !

I was thinking... shouldn't Cataclysm be pretty much a worthless spec? I mean, with the Life Tap glyph you're expected to life tap every 20 seconds so what difference would reducing mana cost of destruction spells make? It came to my attention as I was speccing for affliction and I noticed 1 spare point is left and it's put in to Cataclysm. Isn't there somewhere else that we could put that to get more use out of that point?
