During last night's progression we 1-shotted Razorscale (25m) and downed XT too.

Razor dropped on of the sexiest waists and now use it over the Rasuvious belt.

Added an eternal belt buckle and a Runed Scarlet and I am gtg.

You answered your own question.

You're gaining 39 crit rating (AP = 60.06)
You're gaining 27 Agility worth of crit.

You're just underestimating the value of crit to your dps, that's all. Nothing looks drastically wrong comparing those items.

Hey guys, this is my first post here also.

I see quite a lot of ppl still faithfully supporting the 0/41/30 build, which has proven to be consistant with good dps output. I wanted to try something a little different.

I came up with the idea of going for the following build:

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?warl...4&version=9767

The reasons I thought of giving this build a go were the following:

First: we are in the stage of get-to-know the raid instances and for that massive dps is required to make up for a likely 2-3 dps's exchanged for healers in 25-man raids (few extra healers to try and prevent multiple wipes). On this build, I chose to bring out our little daemon friend once again to increase HP do a some dmg as well (not as much as FG but with other advantages) and also, provide an raid buff.

One of the talents which I think is a <must> for either Demo or Dest builds is 300% increase from spellstones acquired byt the Master Conjuror, which directly increases your crit chance rate by an additional 5%.

Another very interesting reason I chose to go like so, was the use of Decimation which in a specific boss encounter as soon as we got his health down to 35% I managed to get 1 SoulFire for every 2 SB's cast, without losing a shard on the process and almost guaranteeing a critical hit. With only 1 point in MC, with the haste provided by spellstones, cast of SB's and SF's etc., you will get MC triggered very frequently.

On the Dest tree, I chose the usual ones to reduce cast time and improved shadow bolt for additional damage combined with Ruin (they must go together for better DPS).

Demonic Power will also ensure that your little friend is doing a good amount of damage and by enabling that, you also get Backdraft which will increase your gmd and the chance of getting crits besides giving you another instant cast of either SB or Incinerate, so in total, with Shadow Trance, Decimate and Backdraft, you have massive dmg going out effortlessly and all that without even proccing any trinkets you may have.

Improved Immo + Emberstorm completes to make your DOT's consistant and conflagrate to give your rotation a very nice Crit boost.

GLYPHS:

for this build I chose to not go too creative, keep it simple with the usual Immo + Corr glyphs and add the Glyph of Life Tap which will grant you a nice spellpower increase.

Try it out and tell me what you think.

okay, so maybe im asking a pointless question, but with siphon life no longer being an actual spell, do we just replace it with SB while waiting for dots to time out, so we don't clip? or what would anyone suggest. assuming the target isn't at 25% or below health.

Since the 3.1.0 Patch I am trying to figure out what the heck I am supposed to do to respec in such a way to minimize the 10% penalty to damage for dual wielding 2H weapons. It seems like my strength is a lot more since the patch and my AP is great. Just looking for advice. I am currently spec 18/53/0 My current spec is as follows:

Fury Arms

Armored to the teeth 3 Improved Heroic Strike 3
booming voice 2 Deflection 4
cruelty 5 Iron Will 3
commanding presence 5 Impale 2
Dual Wield Spec 5 Deep Wounds 3
Precision 3 Two Handed Weap Spec 3
Death Wish 1
Improved Intercept 2
Improved Berserker Rage 1
Flurry 5
Blood Thirst 1
Intensify Rage 3
Improved WW 2
Improved Berserker Stance 5
Blood Surge 3
Rampage 1
Unending Fury 5
Titan grip 1

After looking at a couple of specs I noticed some choose to use the Improved Cleave. Is this the way to go or not? Thanks all. I appreciate the help.

I am also struggling with my rotation. Specifically i am being told that I should be doing tonnes more DPS than I am right now. My overall DPS in the last instance I ran was about 2101. I have mostly Epic gear now (from Heroics not Naxx). My AP is about 4500 buffed, crit is over 35% I think and str is like 1189. If I am doing it right.. what type of DPS should I be doing. Currently my rotation is as follows:

BR, Intercept, BS (if buffs from other party members are not better otherwise CS), DW, WW, BT (Slam if it procs) and then spamming HS until cd is up for BT or WW again. I occasionally throw in Heroic Throw, and VR if they are available. I have also heard that Demoralizing shout should be used but have not found this has been much help. I should also mention that when my other enrage effects are available I pop those as well.

Also note that the agility you gain will scale directly with buffs (via. kings), while it may only look like a few more AP /crit when you're not buffed.

Seriously, improved shadowbolt + emberstorm is BRILLIANT. I am so angry that I didnt think of that one.

Please remove that guys post.... And then remove this one too.

Which one of these would be good for Tanking?

Forgive the stupid question, but can someone elaborate on "weaving"? I'm a bit lost...
