Arcane Shot and Explosive Shot share a cooldown, so you can't use both in your rotation.

What is a popular addon for combat text, i like scrolling combat text cause i can easily keep track of procs that activate, who is healing me for how much and what my damage looks like. The only issue with is that it is a screen hog. I would appreciate any suggestions on something better.

Mugon,
I used to use SCT but now I use MSBT. Very easily customizable, tracks everything that SCT does and isn't a screen hog.

Miks scrolling battle text is a really good and popular Addon for all your combat text needs.

Takes a little bit of configuring but once you've got it figured out it's definitely worth it.

I suspected as much, thanks.

@HotieDraeni
The rotation you listed seems to have an extra blood rune left over. PS>IT>SS>BS>BS>UB>DC would use it. Also, the rotation would depend on single target vs aoe.

Single Target
PS>IT>SS>BS>BS>UB>DC
SS>SS>SS>RDP
SS renewing Diseases would dictate next rotation

AoE
D&D>PS>IT>Pest>UB
SS>SS>BB>...BB?
The secon rotation is hard to say because you know have a Death Rune (from Pest) and a Blood Rune from D&D. This won't be back on track until another rotation. You could just drop out another BB, or you could grab Frenzy and use the DR there.

I think the bigger concern is 1/3 Morbidity on a build bragging about how well DC scales. Also, I'd be concerned about using D&D without Subversion. At any rate, I would ignore the "avoid ArP" on anything that uses so many physical attacks. Would it rely on ArP as much as, say, Blood? No, but ArP would still be welcome on all that BS/PS/SS you're delivering (and for BCB unless I'm mistaken).

Extremely new to DK so bear with me here. I've seen a lot of rotations posted, but my primary focus is pvp with my DK. As an Unholy (0/19/52) PvP/Arena DK is the above rotation against a single target still considered the best?

I understand that there are a lot of intagebles to take into account in PVP, but I'm looking for a straight up good rotation to learn and then improvise from there.

Hi there guys im new to Arena and this site so im nto sure if this goes here but ive started doing more and more arenas got a 2v2 with a lock and a 3v3 with ret/lock which i find is fun with both but what im looking for is awesome shaman mods for arenas cause the raiding ones i have just dont cut it they look ugly and huge. Any ideas on what are wicked ones?

scourgekiller · 04/29/09, 8:48 PM

Let me first say that I <3 the EJ forums, and that i am a first time poster here.
I have been DPS'ing as frost for months now and i love it! My current "Primary" spec is 20/51/00, and i DPS in UP.
99% of the time I top Recount in guild raids. Essentially my rotation is the same as the 6x IT rotation of the old 20/51/00, the only thing i changed is that i try to get more OB's in on the second part of the rotation.

BT>IT>BS>OB>OB>FSx2

ITx2>OBx2>FSX4

rinse and repeat......

obviously you need to watch your runes and keep a prio rotation if you mess it up at any point.

Hi guys,

First time poster here, however I do read everything that is posted in this thread (usually) when I have time at work. I've been quite busy lately so I haven't had a chance to go through the whole thread - so please forgive me if the question I'm about to ask has been previously answered.

Is being expertise capped (or very close to) worth breaking t7 4pc bonus? I recently received Chestguard of the Recluse from a 25 maly pug (my guild doesn't do any of the "old raids" anymore now that we are focused on progressing through Ulduar). Now Rawr says that it's currently my best chest that I can get with my current gear Armory Link. It takes me to 0.25% off the expertise cap and I am hit capped. Now I was just wondering how accurate is that? I have done some very little inaccurate testing - ran Naxx 25 after I got it but that was a pug and I haven't run that in a while so although I was topping meters on every fight, I haven't done naxx since 3.1 came out so unsure of what figures I should be getting.

If anyone could please inform me of whether or not its worth using Chestguard of the Recluse over my t7 4pc set bonus WITH my current stats, I would be much obliged.

EDIT:

I know that it should be pretty straight forward as pre-3.1 Judgment was our highest damaging ability so the 4pc set bonus was a must if we were to push ourselves to the limit (in most cases), however now that they have nerfed Judgment and Buffed seals, one would think that more seals hitting > 1 sec cd on Judgements (which isn't even in my top 3 damaging abilities on recount) - I'm just not convinced that the extra amount of seals that would be hitting outweighs the damage from getting more judgments in per minute

.

(For those of you that might directly view my stats through Rawr)

Thanks for your troubles.

If it's any help, my most recent WWS from Ulduar25 (only 3 bosses but atleast 4 attempts on each)

I have a question about hit rating that you can please feel free to delete if it is incorrect or stupid. I currently have 341 hit rating, and when I mouse over it it tells me I have exactly 13.00% increased chance to hit. Do I not need an extra point, or is the paperdoll displaying a rounding error? Alliance Shaman, to save you looking it up.
