Vezax: Probably something like this:
http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?warl...0&version=9947

Its basically a demonology build which uses the imp, without the felguard and mana feed. The reason for this being that the imp benefits from standing in a crash (!) and regens mana normally . Also, this means that you can use the shadowbolt glyph and soul fire (cheap spell, mana wise! (9% base mana, compared to 17% for shadow bolt and 14% for incinerate, 7% chaos bolt, 17% immolate)).

tbh, I got a vezax hard mode kill (25 man) being just destruction with a twist. (took points from the mana regeneration and put them in affliction / improved curse of weakness because our arms warrior complained he couldn't get the 5 points in improved demoralizing shout and reach his 'must have' talent points). Wanded the last bit of vezax down .
i tried vezax hard as demo. i recommend against it as its very mana inefficient.

for the kill i ended up using this http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?warl...0&version=9947

tweaked destro works fine. you can move points into Suppression to drop hit from gear and replace it with sp/crit/haste gear. Backdraft lowers GCD but i wasnt really paying attention to that.

I have to question this build, for one reason. Why demon skin over regular soul leech? Granted, you probably wouldn't need either if you are avoiding damage, period, but still.

it was a personal choice. rather than a chance at heal, i chose -6% dmg for Mark of the Faceless and Profound Darkness

ps: nether protection doesnt work on Profound Darkness

Glyph of Siphon Life vs Life Tap

I haven't done the math on how much more dps the glyph of life tap gives, but what are the thoughts on the glyph of siphon life that does 25% more damage and gives 25% more health in return? I'm sure it doesn't yield as much damage as the glyph of life tap, however it seems like it would help with survivability in raids and less time healers have to spend on us.

Which socket bonus should I go for? Spellpower ones are obvious, but are Int / Spirit / Crit Rating / Haste rating socket bonuses decent enough to swap a [Runed Scarlet Ruby] for a [Purified Twilight Opal] or a [Reckless Monarch Topaz]?

Question I'm asking this for is: [Petrified Ivy Sprig] & [Amice of Inconceivable Horror]

Allendana,

Thank you for the feedback. I heard that overlapping your dots will hurt your dps, but maybe tonight I'll just try to keep em all up 100% even if it means some small overlap. Thanks for the MB feedback too.

Has anyone ever posted what "average" and "good" dps is per boss fight? I've never seen that data and while it could be debated somewhat, some rough benchmarks would help me out. Just a thought.

rawr is usually your friend for such kind of decision. In general socketing answers to metasocket and spec first and after that to socket bonuses.

For those two cases 4 and 6 spirit are not good enough to justify the reckless or whatever orange gem you are going to put in there.

Maybe this is just another example of loose language from a blue, but am I the only one reading this as a single boss raid, with 5 possible bosses cycling on a weekly basis - much like the edge of madness event in ZG? If it weren't for all the talk about a new tier of loot, and a new PvP season, I would think this raid was more of a Malygos/Sartharion type raid.

Thank you.

I'm a fb/ttw mage & [Chaotic Skyflare Diamond] is meta socket & I got Jewelcrafting as Profession.

Edit:

According to rawr I should go for: [Potent Monarch Topaz] in my yellow sockets, I guess rawr tries to get 50% crit first?

Also the Best In Slot gear thread goes for [Reckless Monarch Topaz], why?

<Quote> Dear Taloren,

You have received an infraction at Elitist Jerks.

Reason: Ellipses, hand-holding
-------
You made two very unfortunate mistake. The first is a general failure of language skills: you apparently do not understand the function of ellipses and chose to utilize them in new and idiotic ways. The second is laziness. If you want a macro and can't find one, make one up yourself. Truth is it's not possible, but I'm not convinced you have the intellect to realize that and it amuses me to think of you mashing vainly away at your keyboard for hours on end.
-------
</Quote>


It is my great mistake in not knowing that to post on EJ, you need to be a motherfucking english guru. Secondly, of all the questions that a person could ask, I'm not quite sure how the hell my question could be considered idiotic in the fact that many people use macros for various reasons and purposes. Trying to make a macro for finishing moves? How is that idiotic. Bartolimu, if you will take notice to the one respectable response that I got "Taloren, it is no longer possible to do this kind of heavy work in a macro."(Thank you, Gurr) Clearly it wasnt so idiotic at one point. I'm quite aware of what rotation I need to do, its a matter of conserving energy, combo points, and all around maximizing dps. A lot of people make similiar caster ones. Such as priests who make one to keep them from spamming mind flay. And lastly, for it to be so stupid, there ARE exact scripts written to do this very thing, where I copied my list from. However, they are not working, so I thought someone with just a small amount of intelligence to tell me if it was or wasnt possible (which I got, not from you however, you useless mind fuck ) - How do you like that for English skills?

Do not even bother banning me, you mindless fool. Gather some social skills, and common sense when dealing with people. This site is absolutely useless with moderators making comments such as "failure at language skills" over what was really quite a stupid, petty thing to bitch about. If this is your way of fulfilling your powertrip that you can't get because of your inability to get out of a chair, perhaps you should get a puppy to torture or something. Perhaps that would make you feel even more "powerful."

Good luck to the rest of ya.
