Was your druid friend a Night Elf?

As far as I'm aware, Night Elves have a racial bonus of 2% chance to be missed.

Simply looking at the posters profile shows he himself is a Night Elf, and that Night Elves are the only allience race (at the moment) capable of being a Druid, then I belive that would be a safe asumption that they are indeed a Night elf he was attacking.

A simple web search on either hit rating or spell hit rating will return WoWWiki entries that answer both questions. Melee hit rating for same level PvP opponents, as folks noted is 5% vs even level mobs for special attacks and 2 handed melee. Spell hit needed for same level PvP opponents is 4%. Certain races and classes (like ours) have abilities or talents that make them harder to hit, just as certain abilities make it easier to hit targets.

What one is conformable with is, by definition, a matter of personal preference. The typical PvP caps tend to work for some people. Other people will want more.

Hi everyone,

How important is expertise, REALLY? If I'm mutilate and I run with the quick recovery talent, and I'm running a very easy rotation without weapon swap envenom only, and most of the times I'm behind the boss, is it viable to ignore expertise and hence get better stats on AGI/AP/CRIT etc?

Expertise might be useful to ensure SnD doesnt drop and stuff. However, do I need 'cycle stability' if I'm running such an easy rotation? Or is the some misses on mutilate, and some misses on envenom (+28energy because of QR) a significant deal?

We all know our only expertise piece is t9 head/shoulders so thinking if i should pick those up.

Thanks much!

Also you other stats have a slight impact where this point falls but just getting one of the trinkets now doesnt mean you can gem ArP anymore, even when trying to soft cap for the 10 seconds the trinket is active. Granted that Arcane Shot is still dropped pretty early in the ArP curve. When the nerf to ArP came out, it kind of split the Marks Hunters into 3 categories instead of 2.

For Hunters less then 350-400 passive ArP, using Arcane Shot along with it talent.
For Hunters between 350ish and 850ish ArP, dropping Arcane Shot and using the ArP spec while continuing to gem for Agility.
For Hunters above 850ish ArP switching Agility gems to ArP Gems.

Of course you would still need to check out the spreadsheet values to see what gems would be most beneficial to you at your current gear standings. A full ArP gemming now pretty much requires you to be clearing TotGC and picking up the heroic forms of the gear.

So let me ask u something in the part u say " For Hunters between 350ish and 850ish ArP, dropping Arcane Shot and using the ArP spec while continuing to gem for Agility. " do we need to use the runestone or if we have an option to put like dark matter plus greatnes card would be better ?

My hunter got 745 arp passive gemming almost full Arp plus the trinket (runestone ) and i also changed greatnes card to dark matter but i don't know why i lost some dps :S

what's the nice option here for me re-gemming full agi agi/crit and get a passive arp of 550 or some and change the runestone whit greatnes plus dark matter ?

ty in advance

Can anyone direct me to a thread discussing healadin gear, best in slots and sub par, especially shields, and where they drop. Thank you.

Secstacy · 11/06/09, 2:53 PM

Satrina Buff Frames have been added since this has been taken as well as some other minor additions but this is the general idea. (everything is keybound, kept buttons visible for aesthetic appeal and the ability to track a few cooldown timers)

What about the trinket set of onyxia 25 man? Any good?

Here's a list of all the spellpower shields and their drop locations at WoWHead. This includes every shield with spellpower added in Wrath of the Lich King to this point.

As for gear lists and guides...I'd check the Best In Slot Guide at TheHolyPaladin.com.

Monedra · 11/06/09, 4:20 PM

Hello all

Well I have been reading some of these posts and I am still a bit confused here.

I was in a raid with a warlock who had better gear yes, but the has was 557.

Mine is 279 I am hit capped at 460 due to +hit gems.

Their DPs was 2x that of mine even thought I am capped.

Should I re-gem haste or Sp? Or just get better gear ?

i just got rid of the Conquerors Chest for the one I am wearing.

The World of Warcraft Armory

My usual raid consist of two draenai & a Boomnkin.

But I am trying to make sure I am viable either way

I have both 41/30 & 17 54 spec.

-cheers

If your cycle never breaks (i.e., you never have your Envenom dodged/parried causing SnD to drop), you have enough expertise. If it does, you don't. Once you have enough, stack Agi or whatever the spreadsheet tells you is best.

Rendrakó · 11/06/09, 8:21 PM

what is soft arp cap?

Malevolance · 11/06/09, 9:10 PM

Thank you all for your replies and advice. A very big help. Much appreciated.

Santander · 11/06/09, 11:26 PM

Even simpler: are rogues (still) the best dps class? Are you always at or near the top of your raid's dps recount, or has some other class really taken over across the board, not just situationally?

If I have sex with three donuts this evening, how many donuts will I NOT have had sex with?

x = the number of donuts you did not have sex with.

Can DW-Frost dmg still be equal to Unholy 2h dps when focussing ONE target?

wingwraith · 11/07/09, 3:29 AM

Is Mark of Supremacy really that bad? It's not on Kahorie's sim and I'm not quite sure how to rate it.
My problem is I don't have enough dkp for Deaths Verdict or luck w/ Banner of Victory.
I have DMC:G & DMC: D currently equiped w/ FoFF, GrimToll, + Victor's Call in bank.
Any help rating Mark of Supremacy before I waste badges on it would be a greatly appreciated.

I'd say yes.
