Yes, our lock is specced for Shadow Mastery, but he's been MIA for a week or so!
And, DUH, I should've been aware it was a minor glyph. Thanks for pointing that out.
Hopefully our lock shows up in the world again soon.

hello, I'm a long time reader of these and other forums, never much of a reason for me to post. but I've come across a problem. I quite wow for MOST of BC and have come back not long before the release of ToC. A LOT has changed. I've been working my way thrue it learning bits and pieces. that being said, here is my issue.

I'm a dps warrior primarily and my guild doesn't need me as arms, i know hit cap for warriors i dont know how ever, how much exp i need how much AP I need to compete with the dps in my guild. I know I'll be switching out my arp gems for strength and of course replacing my polearm. but what other kinds of changes will i need to make?

I'm also very bad at explaining and asking questions, please dont troll me for this. >.<

I'm not sure if my account is set up properly so here is my armory armory link


thank you in advance for any help received =]

Editing/adding items in the combat 1.3 sheet. Is this possible, or is the sheet password proctected (as I suspect it is)? For the life of me I can't find access to a database of items in order to fix some things for myself. Just as a for instance, I would like to see a model for using relentless gladiator weapons.

With haste being taken off SWPain, mind flay and mind blast both need to receive massive buffs to compensate for this change. If they cannot fix SWPains mechanic with the auto refresh then they need to compensate somewhere else.

Fixing mind blast so that it is on a 6 second cooldown baseline , and changing the base cast to 3second with the 5/5 talent reducing back to a 1.5 second cast before haste is the single easiest and smartest option then can give us. It leaves our current rotation unchanged but doubles Mind blasts output.

Also giving mind flay the full coefficient it should have had since day 1 is the other missing piece of the story here.


The SWPain haste stacking was the only single change that was propping shadow parses up. With that gone the changes to VT and DP are utterly worthless in comparison to the change we actually needed.

If they are going to fix mind blast and mind flays coefficients to compensate then I will eat my words but I will honestly be beyond amazed if that happens.

I need some help , i am Marksman hunter and can't decide what weapon is better for Marksman Hunter :
EDGE OF AGONY (with +20 Armor penetration ) ; OR ; REINFORCED SHADOWSTRIKE .
If you can help me i will be grateful , thanks .

eat a monster dick all of you, cant even fkin post on this site without receiving an infraction.. ya i got one for the above post asking if there was abug. so fk this shitty site.

How do you arrive at this conclusion? Just about all of the math and combatlogs I've seen coming out of the PTR so far has suggested shadow priest damage is still fine after the haste nerf to SWP.

Most of us probably wanted to see Pain work with haste but without the haste values sticking, to avoid needless hoops to jump through while DPSing. Had it worked that way, scaling with haste would have buffed our damage far more via Vampiric Touch than Pain.

As an aside, a three-second base cast nuke on a 1.5 second effective cast time before haste, as you suggested, would be stupid in PvP, and that's before you consider Mind Trauma.

You are posting in the wrong thread for that. This thread is discussion about the best possible DPS in the spreadsheet. There is another thread for the spreadsheet itself where you should direct inquiries about bugs. Your infraction was just, and if you were banned for your last post, that would be just to.

Is ArP still the best to stack? I'm currently at 535 ArP (38.23%). I've read on nomorenoob.com that when I hit 25-30% I should start using ArP gems instead of Str gems, is this still true after the 3.2.2 nerf?

Awesome job man

whats the difference between shadow priest armor and holy priest armor im confused

I paused WoW for a long long time. After reactivating my priest i invested much time in gearing and speccing questions. Now I was persuaded to reactivate my Warri for PvP fun. The Good thing: "she" is already lvl 62, the bad thing: Everything changed and I don't have enough time to read and calculate for this char again.

So my question(s):
1. Whats the best way to Level a 62 Warri "fast"? I guess mass Alterac could do?
2. Whats the PvP cap for hit, expertise and so on? I really do not want to search for all facts for hours. I guess for a PvP Player, I just use the best PvP gear I can get and get the missing expertise and Hit by Gems.
3. What gems, enchants, weapontypes are the best for a PvP Warri (burst)?
4. What kind of talentspeccs are useful?
5. What did i forget to ask?

Maybe a new thread would do? Because there is no "Play a Arms PvP Warri" thread.

Alright, I've been told a few things. 1. Stack Strength + Crit gems 2. Stack pure ArP gems 3. Stack a mix of Strength Crit gems (10, 10s).

I've also geared to the best of my ability in accordance to Landsouls BiS chart for Fury warriors.

I decided to go from pure Strength gems to pure ArP gems. While yes, I've seen a slight DPS upgrade of maybe 400-800 DPS (pending on the encounter) however I realize I don't have neither Grim Toll or the Runestone, but I don't see how either of those will make up for my current DPS in regards to what I see people claiming I should have here. = /

I follow the Fury rotation of BT -> (BS if proc if not) WW -> (BS if proc if not) BT -> (BS if proc if not) BT -> (BS if proc if not) WW etc etc and HS only if at 100 rage and HT if you some how find yourself rage starved, which has never been the case. Cleave only if there's at least 3 mobs to strike at a time (Anub fight).

So... where am I going wrong and sucking hardcore, because I'm at a total loss here. Does the RNG just hate my existence that much? >.>

Edited for forgetting my armory is right on my profile. >.>

Your white damage looks too high, you should be using on next swing attacks like Heroic Strike and Cleave more often. I do not know your guild strategies, but you are barely using Cleave at all. Heroic Strike and Cleave should almost always be your top damage contributor.

Use Landsoul's spreadsheet and figure out yourself what the best option is for gems.

I find it much more usefull gemming arpen rather than strength at a certain point.

You are aware that mages and warlocks are casting spells with no cooldown in around 2 seconds that are baseline 3 second spells right now right? And there spells do not have cooldowns? shadowbolt , frostbolt , arcane blast(2.5), and each one of them does more damage than mind blast by alot. Why would it be so amazing for us to receive a proper nuke that still has a long cooldown?

Btw the simcraft numbers are a joke and I laugh every single time I read someone post about them. If you cannot see that removing haste from SWPain is taking almost all of the increase we were going to be receiving then I cannot help you. Had they taken away both the haste to VT and DP and left the haste stacking to SWPain we would have been better off, but they did not like they way we were using there idiotic coding to our advantage.

Something else has to be added in to making us viable dps. If they did not like they way we were using the haste stacking benefit from SWPain then fixing mind blast to be a real nuke and finally giving us the full coefficient for a 3second channeled spell with mindflay then we will be fine.

Garbage, bullshit, rubbish. SW:P haste stacking was rarely possible to keep running and even if you could keep it running for an entire fight it would barely be better than hasted VT and DP. I have no clue how you can't see that - VT is by far our strongest dot and DP is way better than SW: P if an Unholy DK is present.

Example: My average SW: P is currently around 2500/tick (with gear focusing on sp/crit) which is around 830 dps, if you locked in a 100% hasted SW: P that would be 830 extra dps from that if you could keep it running. So how many fights can you actually keep it running? VERY FEW! - and it would require you to time cooldowns which could otherwise be put to better use.

If you cannot see that keeping a drastically increased SWPain rolling was the reason we were seeing those kinds of potential numbers then I don't know what else to tell you. VT has always done significantly more damage than SWPain, but SWPain maintaining haste amounts was the biggest increase we were getting. That is now gone leaving us with the left overs.

With Haste being a much more wanted stat, I was trying to think outside the box for new talents tree for shadow pve and I was thinking of this, just to try and have some fun : a 30/0/41 bizarre thing.

I tried it on a dummy in the ptr, with a premade priest, and I was a little surprised to see that I was doing the same dps than with a classic 13/0/48.

Has someone thought about some same weird talent trees with the 3.3 patch ? Am I wrong to think it could be on par with the classic talent tree ?

Hey, i was jw if what pet would actualy be better for a mm hunter on most fights... Would you guys prefer the 100% uptime of the -5% armor from the wasp... or simply the 100% uptime 320 ap from wolf?. there both feriocity so they both have call of the wild and instatn rez.

Edited my post right after posting, sorry. The difference between keeping a normal-hasted SWPain running and a max-hasted SWPain rolling is not as high as you may think, it's only around 600 dps difference (higher if you're a Troll and engineer) if you can manage to keep it with running Heroism/Potion/Black Magic for an ENTIRE FIGHT which is only going to happen in a dream world.

The wasp would most likey be wasted because if you have a warr/rogue then you already have an armor reduction debuff. I would go with the wolf for the AP.
