Other then ITx6 what is currently (pre 3.2) the most competitive frost spec and rotation? Single or double disease and 17/51/3? I am usually Blood but got Sigil of VH and wanted to give Frost a real shot.

The World of Warcraft Armory

Though in frost spec I will be using BoH not the Ironsoul.

Sigh.

For specific gear questions use the spreadsheet Warrior DPS Calculation Spreadsheet.

Without UB I fear that the AE superiority that Unholy enjoys will go by the wayside. With its already "meh" single target threat (mildly buffed by the new UB mechanic) Unholy to me is no longer a really viable tanking spec.

Unfortunately this leads me to believe that the only option left to me is Blood. Still capable of high EH pools and enough self healing to take a little bit of the edge off of those fights that have healers biting their nails, Blood is looking great. Still the highest Single target Threat and now capable of enough high dmg BB spam to hold decent AoE aggro It looks like that is the way I will be going.

I'm toying around with this one right now:

Seems like it'll have great aoe threat (15 sec DnD, strong diseases, strong Blood Boil), solid single target threat, Veteran of the Third War and stupidly high magic mitigation. You can take a point out of desecration if you've got a snare available and put it into AMZ, too.

It still needs to be raid tested though, so I'll report back when I can find a decent Naxx pug on the PTR.

Ok so I've been a reader for a while, first time posting, with that.. here goes.

I've been Arms since 3.1 and have been gemming ArP since I hit 30% from gear but I'm pretty sure I have the gear to go Fury now. I've decided i'm gonna go Imp Cleave spec but is rage regen that big of an issue? I'm still unsure whether or not I need to regem all my gear to +Str or keep the ArP. Also still a little unsure whether or not having 50% ArP w/ a Grim Toll or Mjolniir Runestone is good or if i should get more as far as going past the cap goes...

Any help would be nice ^^

Yes.

Blizzard is getting millions of dollars from their players on a monthly basis. I expect them not to recycle art for a major contect patch, even if they will have to spend a few thousands on artists.

Why do you expect so little of them?

The guild to Wotlk for rogues is very helpful for PVE. However, I am starting to do some PvP. What is a great pvp build that uses daggers, as I have sinister's revenge and murder? Also does the stronger weapon go in the mainhand? Where does the faster weapon go? What poisons should I use? Enchants? Gems? glyphs? Tyvm.

Luci666 · 06/27/09, 11:52 PM

I just RE-speced my ELE shaman into resto. Im aiming into making him really good at Healing in raids for single healing and multiple healing. Im just wondering on wat stats to stack on or have the most off for example: haste rating,intellect,crit strick, mana regen etc. And i also need some guidance on the enhancements ,enchantments and wat kind of gems to put on my gear. I would appreciate any help or tips.

Downloading and using Landsoul's spreadsheet will answer these questions for you.

Isn't Naxx sub-optimal testing for the end game tanking thread?

some cleanup in the comments section?

Hi all,

I have written up two interviews which the readers of this thread will find interesting and relevant.
First is with Wrath, the second with Numen.

Numen are ranked 23 Europe, 38 in the world. They have Heroic Glory of the Ulduar Raider. I spent nearly two hours with them.

Includes:
* how they had 160 wipes on Freya 3,
* the most important quality they look for in a recruit,
* healer plan B,
* vent comms,
* learning new bosses,
* recruitment and interview processes,
* raid calendar, and some more.

Leadership interview: Numen � pwnwear.com: wield epics, wear pwn

Wrath interview, ranked 58 in EU, 100 in world.
Covers:
* how they learn new fights before anyone has published strategies
* how recruit availability is in predictable waves
* about their preferred guild size to balance burnout and benching
* their culture which has high retention (lose very few players)

Hope you enjoy them.

So I decided to try something new with the DP spec. Instead of using a felguard i went with an imp instead. Reason i choose to go with an imp was because of the new t9 2pc bonus which i thought was a great help with the uptime of demonic pact. For 1 it gives 10% critical strike for their abilities, 2nd when spec into demonic empowerment it increases the imps critical strike chance by another 20% for 30 secs which is great. Since im spec into nemesis the CD for Demonic Empowerment is 42 sec therefor there is a 12 secs that your imp may fail at doing a critical strike after. If he does a crit spell at the last sec of 30 secs then that should be enough tiem to reapply Demonic Empowerment. All in all i think its not bad of a spec. Here is the spec i tested it with, Improved Imp Pact. The 3 Major glyph that i used were Life Tap, Incinerate and Imp. With the new buff that life tap received which last for 40 secs i think its great.
The death coil at the end was to replenish my hp so that i can use a few more lifetaps for mana also i didn't want to do another meter without death coil (kinda lazy). Also you can see my imp did 49.5% crit which was 90 hits out of 182 firebolts. Here is a pic for the meter

Now i searched Elitist Jerks and couldn't find a topic of someone mentioning this spec nor couldn't see an optional spec in the Simulationcraft on post-3.1 specs and PVE Raiding Compendium V3.1. So as of now I hereby call this spec Improved Imp Pact.

Sincerely Diabolìst from Scilla
