Thank you!

I'll try that, thanks

Fair enough, I don't really play much as unholy since I have to bring IIT to the raid, but I got the idea that people were having their ghouls die on occasion *shrug*.

Guess I shouldn't make assumptions.

As useful and constructive as this post is, I'm going to go ahead and ignore it.



Anyway, can someone clarify what GC is talking about here:
What exactly is the "value of armor rating?"

Also, I'm thinking of regemming a few things to hit the 735 arp rating softcap (before my [Mjolnir Runestone] proc) and I'm wondering . . . is hitting 100% necessary if the boss is guaranteed to be sundered and faerie fired?

mmmmmmmmk, thank you. and stupid question, but icy touch goes off of spell hit right? i could have sworn it did, but ive read all over the place and couldnt find an answer. normally i wouldnt care but the past few days ive gotten some misses on it and its got me wondering xD

can someone please explain to me "Enchant Weapon - Mongoose (used at T9 gear levels)", what are the benifits?

ok correct me if im wrong but the T9 set bonuses for rogues kinda suck. i have two 245 pieces of T9 but i don't think i am ready to lose rupture crits and i am thinking the rupture crits are better than having that one extra piece of 245 gear

"this isn't a heroic kill but im not sure how much that would make a difference"

lol relax

I haven't noticed that behaviour either and certainly went OOM spamming Arcane Explosion against Auriaya's adds with 5/5 Clearcasting.

Edit: Even though I didn't notice it in my raid today, I could definitely notice it going through stockades. I guess I can confirm Clearcasting proccing per target,

@The discussion about an Anub spec:
Personally I'm using 2/3 Precision and 3/3 Ice Shards on my Mage. According to Rawr my Blizzard DPS with that Arcane spec is slightly higher than that of FFB so I don't have a FFB spec any more.
In optimal gear dropping a point of Precision is also only a mere 15 DPS (~0.14%) loss.

@Fax directly:
You mentioned Flamestrike. Do you actually use Flamestrike in the Anub encounter?
Personally I've never seen Anub and all 4 adds in range for a Flamestrike so I'd just directly Blizzard (because a 5 targets Blizzard should do higher DPS than a 3 targets Flamestrike).
Do you have any special way of tanking Anub and the adds?

Okay so i'm hit cap, expertise cap, 47.63% ArP, and 4.4k ap. Now should i be gemming ArP or Str? From the previous posts it sounds like Str will bascially be best for me.

Sunder and Faerie Fire have nothing to do with Armor Penetration in terms of your personal cap. Also prepare for the wrath of Kaubel.

i am having the same issue over 1300 ticks during boss figths and 0 crits i have 2x245 and 2x232 dunno if that could be the reason of the bug but i cant see how that is plausible, i have read people reporting that their 4xset is indeed working but not for me though.

*** re-equiped the items and it is indeed criting now, very odd, they even show up on recount now

It's working for me. Right now, and every fight since the patch. I have 2x245 and 2x232, so I can confirm that isn't it.

Not sure what else to say =S. Try unequipping/re-equipping?

As to the question of what crit chance it works off, melee seems to be it, based on testing and raid parses.

Heya!
I'm wondering how Nightmare Tear works to activate the meta gem: does it count as a gem color for the socket it is in? or can it count for 2 colors at once? Most of the posts I've been reading have stated that Nightmare tear only counts as the color of the socket it is in, i.e. if placed in a blue socket, would count as a blue gem.

However, I've seen a ret paladin who has stacked only red Str gems and one Nightmare tear in his gear, yet his meta which requires 1 red, 1 blue and 1 yellow, is activated.

link to his armory:
The World of Warcraft Armory

it appears he placed the nightmare tear in a yellow socket.. and yet he has no blue gems, so if the assumption was right, his meta would not be activated. But the meta is indeed activated.. so does the nightmare tear count as both a yellow and blue gem? or have I missed out something here?

Cheers!

4piece t9 with (3) pieces of 245 and (1) 232 piece of badge gear with diseases confirmed to crit.

4piece was a huge dps increase for me and I wish that I could find a good no 4piece vs. 4piece comparison in our logs to share.

edit: wrong link

I noticed that SS is 5% ahead of 2xBS on damage and also have 5% more critical rating. And about the GoSS I still not sure if is just because you can do more SSs on your rotation or if it have some synergy like if don’t have to refresh the diseases with PS and IT we get a second on runes cd but for sure we have at least less 6s on that rotation by doing like 8xSS , 5-6xDC and 4xBS in about 30s with just one IT and one PS.

I would love to see a updated front page by Vespasian including the newest, highest dps rotation and glyphs, now that Flame Shock is in the mix.

Is it possible for us to pick up Aura mastery without loosing dps?

Ye i know that we loose some raid survability, but we are low on Holy paladins, and really need it for Heroic Twins.
Seen some ppl commenting about this earlier, but to me it seems that the only thing we will loose picking it up, is raid survability.

Going for something like this Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

+ 2 points more in BoM or something

We know that the first 4 abilities used will be some order of Dark Twin Pact, Light Twin Pact, Dark Vortex, and Light Vortex. However, is there any mechanic preventing the 4th and 5th special abilities from being identical? Can anyone remember a time where the same ability was used twice in a row?

From anecdotal evidence, there isn't. I've seen the same ability used two times in a row a few times.

Yes, it happened to us once. I remember it because it cost us our first 10 HM twins kill. We were dpsing light twin and ignoring dark twin pact. The 4th and 5th abilities were dark pact. This was before the 3.2.2 patch.

Hi. i m not sure some1 answered that question before. Is 4 piece of t8.5 better than 3p t9 + 1p t9.25(shoulder). [3 conquest , 1 triumph ]
