When I first saw this thread, I actually thought it was going to be some suggestions on how to implement Gladiatorial Combat. Deceived, I decided to look through my archives of ideas, here are a few brain cookies, looking to harvest a few good ideas out of yah

-Class criteria for a technical/heroic kill nets a temporary buff/title?
i.e Warrior shatters bubble, interrupts heal>execute crit = +10% ArP/refreshed+enhanced Enraged Regeneration?
Experimenting with various combos grants different buffs and would add an exciting element to PVP.

-Enchanters + Ore/Bars + Blacksmith + Jewelsmith + Alchemy + Inscription..etc = "Special Add-On"
-i.e Razored Edges = %20 chance when using Mortal Strike to cripple enemy reducing movement speed by x%, stacks with Hamstring (once again more experimenting, new elements and freedom)

- Inscription + First Aid = Temporary Band-Aid Buffs or Herbalism + Cooking with the same effect

To be honest, I'm just a dreamer who wants to play World of Warcraft again. It destroyed my high school grades, I missed out on my chance to play football and I wasted a lot of my parents valuable time. I haven't played since pre-BC 06' and don't know to much about the new mechanics. I do know what I want in a game, if I have these big ideas (more to come once I can create a topic) and an army of number crunchers; which you guys are notorious for, we can make these changes happen. Anyone with suggestions or insight feel free to message me.

I get a Frost Lotus almost every day on my way to and from doing the JC daily on my alt. The drop rate seems about the same as it's been for a while now (they increased it fairly recently, no?).

1) This is problematic. The Expertise cap is 26 for each hand (26/26 on the character sheet). You are wasting a substantial amount of expertise and gimping yourself by doing so.

2) Posting your stats will, in general, tell us nothing about what you are doing wrong. If you don't have specific parses or situations in which you need help (What should I do when X is up and Y has Z seconds left, but A B and C? is a good question. HALP MY DPS IS LOW LOOK AT ARMORY PLX is a bad question).

Anyone know where the fire thread went? Also, so Fire spec was apparently the best spec for Ulduar, is there a "best spec" for Trial of the Crusader and if so what is it? Is there a crit cap? In raid I'm at like 49% and I don't think I crit as much as I should be, also Rawr is now telling me that I should be going for gear with haste over crit, making me think there is a crit cap and that's I've hit it.

No dude. I totally think turning off vsync is freeing his computer up for incoming network frames.

Just saw that now while I was messing with simcraft profiles. Not used to wowhead being the most up-to-date gear resource. Kind of like how thottbot fell behind when wowhead came out. >_<

Nerubian Guardians

I've looked through some parses but haven't seen anything absolute; how much time is elapsed between when the Nerubian Guardians spawn and when they first cast Shadow Strike on 25m heroic? And while under all four auras the cast speed is lowered to one second, is that affected by Curse of Tongues or Mind Numbing poison?

Is it worth putting 3/3 in Incanter's Absorption as opposed to just 2/3?

I usually just run 2/3. I can't justify losing any of the other talents for the last point. I run something like this:

The World of Warcraft Armory

edit: I haven't played as arc in a long time, so in hindsight, with 2pc t9 it might be better to go 3/3 sotm instead of incineration.

I feel like an idiot for asking this but a few days ago a Newer level 80 druid friend of mine asked me if Genesis (Tier one Balance Tree) (Increases Periodic Damage and healing by 1/2/3/4/5%) also applied to Rake/Rip for feral. I know it does not seem logical that it would and i believe that bleeds of both of these skills are BLEED Damage and not considered PERIODIC for that talent. But after some thought i was still not sure. (I told him it was most likely not and to not spec into it and referred him to a standard starting feral spec.) I am aware that this may seem like a stupid question again but i have not done any testing on the subject and was wondering if anyone else has or knows the correct answer and can give reasoning supporting their answer.

Thanks.

10% extra spirit only works out to like an extra 1-3% crit, so no, I don't think it's worth dumping Incineration. But I'm thinking you could probably stand to take out one point from Magic Attunement or even Arcane Barrage (since pretty much any scenario casting it ends up being a DPS loss), but that's only if it's worth putting 3 points into IA.

Extended questions

So hey guys, I'm currently specced 0/13/58.

I know that in 3.1 haste was better than crit for locks, at least until 600 or 700. In 3.2, because of the imp crit thing, is crit still worse to get than haste? or other way around?

Additionally, would it be wiser to use firestone now? or stick with spellstone like in 3.1?

Lastly, I was wondering if my rotation is currently screwed up. I'm goin CoD, immolate, conflag, chaos bolt, then incinerate spam and repeat. Of course, i life tap before the fight to get the sp bonus from the glyph. Just as well, i chaos bolt to get the speed bonus of conflag to maximize the efficiency of its damage.

K thanks guys, my character's armory is The World of Warcraft Armory

Thanks for considering ^_^

Regarding which stone to use: Firestone was always better then spellstone, even in 3.1, so use firestone.

Hey,
I have a warlock who is just about to ding 80 and was wondering what spec to start pvping with. I have delved in to AV from 75 - 78 and used both a Destruction build and 2 Affliction builds. One used Destruction as the second tree, the other demonology. I found affliction was more useful to me through the health gains yet i am unsure of the best Affliction pvp spec to use as a fresh 80, firstly which tree to use as a second tree and secondly which talents to take in affliction. Some builds seem to take soul siphon others don't. Some take pandemic, again others dont. Obviously as a fresh 80 my spell power is minimal so I have 2 questions. Given that I will just be playing in Battlegrounds.......

Is affliction better than destruction without much SP?

If yes then what affliction build is best suited to my situation?

Thanks in advance.

But apart from that:

- Don't gem Crit
- Don't gem Haste
- Don't gem Haste+Manareg
- Wrong Metagem

It's all in the forums.

About rotation its usually better to put something between immolate and Conflagrate, either a curse of chaos bolt, since you waste some time for conflagrate to register theres a immolate up doing nothing.
