Hey guys, does anyone know the definite answer as to using SoC or SoB in arena? I've been playing ret to 2200 using blood and all the top ret pallies in the world seem to be split on the idea. I know a fellow ret that is a die hard command user and he claims that it is SO much better than blood right now. I find that hard to believe. any answers?

I have noticed that since I got my 4piece T7 my LvB crits tend to be lower than without the 4 piece. Anyone see this issue. I was using 4piece T6 for the bonuses for quite a while, and I saw LvB hitting much harder than it currently is.

The "top ret pallies in the world" are not split on the idea. You use Blood, period.

actually, some of the top rated pallies i've looked at are specced into Command, so it's that that simple. thanks for coming out though

not to mention, some use the DOT, and some dont. so it's not so black and white

Does anybody know if WWS logs will show who spawns extra adds in P1 on Yogg?

Also, side note. I've been using "Glyph of disease" over "Glyph of runic weapon", allows me to refresh my diseases with just 1 blood rune rather than having to use another icy touch and plague strike, wondering if that's more beneficial than using runic weapon. Also went for the 51/0/20 with the NOTD over the 5/5 necro, wondering if thats better than 5/5 necro.

trying to maximize my dps for raiding and with the disease glyph i'm doing a
IT, PS, DS, HS HS, dump
DS,HS,HS,HS,HS,HS dump

then just a pestilence to refresh diseases and spam HS/ds combo's.

I am fairly certain that ArP vs Strength gemming is still debatable atm, could anyone expand on this please ?
I just recently switched to blood after being unholy since my first day in naxx and I'm not sure about this myself.

As for the the glyph/rot:

I use Glyph of DRW over glyph of disease. Everyone I talk to says glyph of disease rotations do less damage, but I can't really say from personal experience. I dont really have a set in stone rotation ... keep diseases rolling, use DS to keep death runes up whenever possible and other wise spam HS. I am considering switching to a DS opener "rotation" though from what I am reading. I push 7k+ dps on XT (which is supposedly the new patchwerk?) I also have 0/2 notd 4/5 necro and 2/2 epidemic. I will probably switch one point out of epidemic for necro in this coming week. As stated above, I am still fairly new to blood, but im pumping out nice numbers so there is my 2 cents.

Do you have any other L80 items you could swap out to drop the 4pT7? Maybe run some tests with WWS to show the difference between having and not having the bonus? Im sure a lot of people here would love to have some numbers for that. It could possibly be a fluke, yet that could be a problem in itself. Ill run some numbers tonight with and without 4p in tonights raid, and see if I can find anything.

Anyway it is only a boss mode, if bigwigs has something really cool and DBM doesn't have, I can always switch them.

I know this is an old post. but for truth's sake, this even applies now.
You can keep them both on and disable each others' messages to work them in conjunction without interference if you do it right. If anybody needs help configuring them, PST me in-game, or ask here.

Aside from heroic ulduar drops. Are the new crafted items (Belt of Dragons, Boots of Living Scale) BiS for survival hunters (providing hit is capped)?
