Always have social spots open for the right people.

Yes sorry. This was extremely unclear. You are right, of course.

I haven't played WoW since about a week after 3.2 release. Is ret dps still the same? Basically have they made any changes to ret at all?

I have searched last 10 pages of MMO champ and can't seem to find anything stating so. So I am thinking not.

Thanks.

3.2 changed dramatically from pre-3.2, but if you played a week of 3.2 you grasped all the changes. SoV, etc. Just review the original post of the 3.2 Ret thread.

I understand why a single, extended simulation would be a single-core process, but it is not possible to split up the multiple short fight tests to multiple cores? This could make such simulations considerably faster.

With this spec: Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

What is best: Grand Spellstone vs Grand Firestone?

Note: I have 556 haste rating and 386 crit rating with no buffs what so ever from before.


Thanks in advance =)

Hello! I am sure that somewhere in this thread my questions have already been answered, but I have not been able to find them.

First my Armory

I am not good at theorycraftspeak, etc, it is way over my simple head I just want to know, what numbers I need to be shooting for on crit, haste, int, and spi. Simple things, easy for a peon to understand.

Hit is well defined in the first post "you need 368 unbuffed without suppression", but the other stats, not so much.

Thanks guys! Sorry to be a pita

is 2 piece T7 better than 2 piece T8? The World of Warcraft Armory is my armory,i'm currently in a screwy spec for soloing old world raids,http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...&version=10128 is my main spec

Hello fellow forum posters,

Since the advent of dual-spec system, I have been longing to try MM spec. However, it has been said many times that MM shouldn't be used until one of the Ar-pen trinkets is obtained and Ar-pen soft cap is reached. However, when plugging in my current specs into the newest spreadsheet (in which LnL proc is already set to 20%), MM spec (Agility-based, keeping Arcane Shot in rotation) is showing me almost 400 dps increase (raid-buffed) compared to my regular Surv spec.

However, when trying out the rotation in the dummy, I can't seem to surpass my Surv dps record. Please review my rotations below :
--Priority is : Initial Serpent >KS>CS>Arcane>Aimed>Steady .
--During Improved SS proc, I will wait as long as possible till either CS or Aimed is off CD, doing Steady shots in between while ignoring Arcane even though it is off-CD.
--When Readiness is off-CD, I will Rapid fire - Kill Command - CS - Aimed - wait till all KC charges are used - Readiness and repeat.

Is it that MM spec with Arcane only viable on paper but not on real situation?
Thank you.

Edit : changed "Arcane-less" to with-Arcane

First off my name is "Teufelkneife" and i play on the Spinebreaker (Or Spinebroken) server lol.

Ive been raiding on my Enhance Shaman actively for the past 4 months or so ... i took a break from him and played a warrior tank for a while but ive gotten back into my shaman figured out how we work at 80 caps rotations etc. and now im running one of the top DPS in our guilds 25 and 10 man raids but ive come to a interesting place.

I currently have Mark Of Norg. (Abv) as one of my trinkets and im wondering how the heck i should or what for the matter switch this out with. I just picked up the Exp. and 250 Stacking trinket from 10 man heroic ToC but i actually think that the Haste on the Mark might be better simply because it affects a multitude of things rather then just Melee DPS ... it affects cast times LB and MW procs and also Melee.

Basicially im trying to figure out a good way to drop the trinket if it isnt that all good.

I Have the Mirror of truth but i doubt thats a good swap considering the same thing i said about the Exp. Stack trinket.

Also i have the Pyrite Infuser in my other trinket slot.

Heres a Link to my armory...
The World of Warcraft Armory

And any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

i want to know how "Righteous Vengeance" works.

i crited for 2k: 600 Dmg over 8 sec

4sec later: 300 Dmg over 4 sec

and i crited for 4k.

now what will happen? will my old debuff remove and a new one aplly? or new DoT will be stack with the old one and debuff will refresh?


a) old 300 dmg over 4sec and new 1200 dmg over 8 secs will stack together as 1500 dmg over 8 sec? or only the new dot will be on the boss as 1200 dmg over 8 secs??

can someone tell me pls?

One more quick questions.. is the 368 hit cap for a horde lock assuming that a shadow priest is in the raid or is that before any other considerations?
Thanks

Yes. The 368 horde hit cap assumes that there is a Spriest or Boomkin in the raid. It also assumes that you are grouped with a Draenei, and that you have not taken the supression talent in the affliction tree.

Hey guys, got a question since I dont have excel to check the spreadsheet myself. I recently got my T8.5 legs out of VOA, which gives me Legs, Chest, Helm. My shoulders are [Duskstalker Shoulderpads], and currently I'm using 7.5 legs and gloves. My question is, should I stick with the 2 piece bonus of the 7.5? Or lose that and put on the 8.5 legs?

Second question is about weapons. I'm combat sword specced right now, Using [Silent Crusader] and [Widow's Fury], but I just got [Dirk of the Night Watch] out of TOC. Would keeping the swords be better? Or using the dagger as my new offhand and have a hybrid Swords/CQC spec? If so, is there a recomended number of points to put into each of the two. Thanks in advance

Guys, sorry if im asking this but i dont want to read every page in this thread but..

I want to know which spec is the best for 10man raids..


Thanks.


Vala

firestone for deep destro. spellstone for deep affliction, 0/41/30, 0/40/31, and meta.

It does not assume that you are grouped with a Draenei. Horde doesn't have that race. Grouped with a Draenei , also knows as Alliance hit cap, is 342.

Lately I have noticed that I am becoming more rage starved and very spikey rage generation. Take a look at my armory to the left and any1 see anything that could be causing this. I use heroic strike usually when I'm above 50 rage so that is not my problem. Thanks.

Yes, due to not having continuously available blood DK or enhance shaman, I opted to take a point in TSA. After toying around with spreadsheet, I found out that best DPS resulted (even though very marginally) from taking 3/3 imp. Arcane and 2/3 imp. SS . Even if I do otherwise (3/3 imp. SS and 2/3 imp. Arcane), the sheet still showed an increase over survival spec.

I don't see a specific reason why your rage seems to be spikey since you have good values (arp, exp). And having to much hit is bad for the damage but at least ensures a constant flow of rage. Btw. is there a reason besides the slightly slower speed why you put the superior weapon in the offhand?

What Epic gem Xmute makes the most money? im assuming red but the blue quality ones are fairly expensive also.

This was covered earlier in the thread, but orange is probably the most profitable Xmute, since its materials are cheapest (about 10g). YMMV, of course. On my server, Orange is also one of the least profitable cuts (along with Green), and so changes the equation for me.
