Hello,

I would like to ask which of these stats transfer to pet:
defense rating,
parry,
dodge.

Thanks in advance.

I'm putting this on the Official (lol) Boards as well, but I'd like to see what you all think.

With the recent change to Army of the dead and the cooldown reduction via Night of the Dead, it somehow seems as though you are trying to get us to use it more often.

Currently, the most pristine time to summon AotD is on the pull just before the boss becomes active. With the shorter CD, some fights will allow for a second summon. However the 6sec channel is generally dps lost on some of the more movement heavy fights( Icehowl?).

My suggestion is to put a cast time reduction on AotD, possibly in Night of the Dead. 1.5/3sec would be more than enough to make the second summon worth it.

As well, putting it into NotD would ensure its duration as a emergency tanking CD is unaffected.

has anyone worked out a set of relative stat values for around 232-245ilevel gear(i.e. just starting ToC)? the numbers i have been using i think are a bit out dated and i can't for the life of me get rawr to work properly : /
atm i'm using haste:80, crit:50, sp:100, int:10. but i think these were more accurate back in naxx.
i would really appreciate just some rough numbers.

if you're interested, i'm currently trying to choose between [Windchill Binding] and [Girdle of the Farseer] (heroic version). but i'll probably end up needing the numbers for something else as well down the line.

Hey all, new to the forum and trying to get some help. I have done a lot of reading and worked with the spread sheet but am still unclear about some things. I have just started doing 10 mans and heroics recently and I am trying to optimize my time spent, between work and wife theres not a lot! I use the gear planner through the spreadsheet filtered down to 10 mans so that I know what will be an upgrade and where to get it from. I am unclear if the spreadsheet is really giving me the list I should be using for this. The spreadsheet is for max dps builds and I am BM, not survival. Does that make a difference? Should I be going after different gear?

Also I have been playing with MM for raids, still love BM most, would I need a different set of gear gemmed and enchanted differently for that?

Thanks in advance for any help and I hope I posted this in the right place!

Hi all, this is my first post here. I'm very new to the elemental spec, here is my profile: The World of Warcraft Armory

I'm in a guild who only runs 10 mans, both normal and heroic, and also 25 man pugs (but I don't really rely on getting something from 25 mans.

At the moment my dps is fairly low compared to the rest of the people in my 10 man group. I should be using the right spec, and priority system as dps rotation (keep FS on target, use lvb when up, otherwise lb) and the right glyphs.

I also got my hands off the "ring of the darkmender" from the normal 25 man, and also crafted bejeweled wizard bracers.

I have 139 triumph badges atm and wondering what I should buy, since many of my parts are healing, any tips are appreciated.

Thanks a lot!!

Just did the first GDKP raid on Frostwhisper EU horde side.

Everything went nicely, no wipes. Though the loot that dropped was'nt so great.

I might have stacked abit to much good geared people, since trophys generally went for 2200g. And the 2hand axe from twins went for 4000g.

Everyone got 1121g each, and atleast had a good time. The run took 1hour and 30 mins, spending abit of time before each boss going through tactics and abit of time after the boss doing the bidding.

Had abit of trouble with the addon, i do think it spams abit to much, properly me that dont understand to set it up correctly.

I will continue to do this every week on the realm, and report back how it goes.

imo you should spend your badges on t9, if you don't expect to get any trophies (starting with chest, shoulder and gloves probably). also your gemming is a little off, i believe the optimal gemming is 23 spellpower in red or blue sockets, 12 spellpower+10 haste rating in yellow sockets (except when you need hit). also swap your glyph of flame shock for glyph of totem of wrath (not a whole lot of difference, but it is slightly better).

Question, is the incite build only good if you have the 4 set Tier9 Bonus? Ive been reading through and hadn't really seen anything saying that the 4 set bonus is a must get for an Arms War, is it? Thanks.

haven't changed sockets since since I changed from resto not long ago. SP/stam the, for the meta? I also do have emblems for the t8.5 chest, could buy legs/gloves/shoulders instead, for example. I'm not really seeing the anub legs anytime soon, so gonna run with these or the tier 9ones?

Thanks

Shauleiss · 11/07/09, 8:23 PM

Azmodyr · 11/07/09, 8:37 PM

well it's the set bonus you're going for really, but if you have to choose, the t9 legs aren't very good (weak stats D

so it's probably best to get head,chest,glove,shoulder and find some nonset legs (the ones you've got aren't half bad actually).

and yeah sry, forgot about the meta requirement.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

scandore8472 · 11/07/09, 10:38 PM

I just noticed the simcraft for 0/56/15_MC is using shadow bolt. With the new changes to MC, wouldn't incinerate be the better spell to cast? Or is it better to only cast incinerate when MC procs?

ble_198623 · 11/07/09, 11:46 PM

thanks guys for the suggestions. I kow I have a horrible trinket and the excess hit hating is the craftable chest im getting made so thats the excess hit. The rotaion I use is HoW running into boss for the RP then IT PS HS HS DS BT then a combo for Hystieria DRW ERW and a speed pot then i reapply my diseases and start my HS>DS>DC.

Since most socket bonuses on tank plate are stamina, you don't lose quite so much stam for more avoidance and mitigation when you activate blue and red sockets this way.

Ahhh sweet. Thanks for the info!

Hi i just wanted to know how much crit is really needed by a fury warrior unbuffed. I got 41.05% unbuffed and it goes to about 49-50% fully buffed. Do i need such high crit? i read somewhere that 33% is all i need unbuffed. Another thing is that my dps is about 5.5 to 6k. I have been told that its low for my gear level. Can someone check my armoury and please advise.

thank you very much.
