The World of Warcraft Armory

I am looking for the best dps spec.. I just came back from a little break and found myself being beaten by a hunter, warlock, and another DK.. I have the superior gear, just a bad rotation.. Can someone tell me the best rotation?? Dont use Abbreviations if you can please.. Type it out

Thanks.

what about a [Malice] and [Remorse] combo? how does that hold up vs a Calamity's Grasp/Webbed Death..

If you read the first post on the first page, if gives a good summary of what is discussed. There are some new findings or discussions going on, but the basic rotation and the glyph question is still the same from the first post here
The best spec is still being discussed, but the general consent from the first post is still true. 12/0/59 is the basic cookie cutter, 0/10/61 is supposed to scale with better gear and then there are some variations in the 12/0/59, which you will find throughout this thread. These variations are mostly based on personal preference. 7/10/54 is one variation, others are staying 12/0/59 with taking points out of ghoul frenzy or improved unholy presence.

I hope I didn't confuse you too much and actually provided a short overview.

Sorry if this has been talked about or was proven somewhere else but I was wondering why in the two post 3.1 destro builds one uses LT glyph and the other uses immo glyph. Does the immo glyph really beat out Lting every 20 for the extra spell power?

Haven't found any where a char for hunters showing diminishing return on haste vs. crit vs. ArP maybe I haven't looked in the right spots. If anyone can show me to a chart explaining the 3, on diminishing return, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

everythings good. few extra questions

Just hit 80...what glyphs are sppropriate. First page really confused me.... and why is it that with 12/0/59 you use Blood presence, but spec into unholy presence aura...why is 15% movement speed so important?

Thanks in advance.

That doesn't make a lot of sense, 155 is a very arbitrary number when you consider it is nowhere near the hit cap for 83 bosses (which from memory is 263 hit rating).

Balancing "offensive" threat stats versus defensive stats for tanking is never cut and dry, for a lot of fights you cannot afford anything but the best survivability, especially as you are still gearing up. Other fights may be more threat sensitive with little chance of tank death.

If you are worried about threat, you are generally better off with expertise than hit, as it contributes to both dodge and parry up to the dodge cap of 6.5%, and the parry reduction has the added benefit of reducing "parry haste" which some bosses have.

ya.. i dont know if I should have the blight glyph or dark death? Im confused by that...

and for the blood presence, i understand that, but why do they just assume you took imp aura for the 15% movement. Im asking why thats so valuable. Doesnt seem that worth it.

I read the OP, i need clarification. But thanks

I think what you might miss is that this discussion is more about raid environment than heroics. In raids you find yourself a lot of times in situations where you have to move during fights and therefore 15% movement increase results in a DPS increase and makes it into a DPS talent. Furthermore there are a some encounters where you need to run from something, because you are "the bomb" or because there is stuff on the ground where you don't want to stand in. In these cases the 15% movement increase helps you to take less damage or to do less damage to your raid, because you can move out quicker.

For the glyph question you probably want to go with Dark Death for now, as the Unholy Blight glyph is still debated over from what I remember. It is written a bit confusing, but what the OP means is that when the bonus that the T7 set gives is broken it becomes feasible to use the Unholy Blight Glyph.

I hope I got the last part correct, if not please let me know.

The boss where I notice my health deficit most is Emalon. Enhance shaman are the only melee class that can't live through his Lightning Nova when raid buffed.

All the other melee just stay in and dps while the healers bring them back up. I on the other hand get one shot. Shamanistic rage sometimes saves me and sometimes does not.

Its not enough to make me re-gem for stamina but it is annoying.

I completely agree.
