Griefknight, you have to be one of the biggest douchebags I've ever seen on a forum, I hope you get into a car accident tomorrow. If you are so hurting for attention that you feel the need to tell everyone what they should be posting, how they should be speccing, best of luck to you.

Clearly you lack any kind of control in your real life, as you seem to come online to attempt to gain some on an anonymous internet forum.

The point you missed about the entire topic was the fact that while improved TC,Pally judgement,infected wounds all are baked into prot specs of the respectable classes because there are no good alternatives to take, as death knights we have that option openly available to us. Instead you wanted to go on some crusade about how you view things should be and that anyone who wouldn't spec that way is an idiot.

Well, you did good at embarrassing yourself, thats about it.

the cat dps flow chart for ret paladins

For boss fights I keep CoD up, and I have LT glyph for extra sp, so keeping that up as well, and my casting order is

1 IM

2 CF

3 CB

5 IN Spam

Cast CB and CF as often as u can. I can get 2 CF out of an IM duration.

For trash rotation is similar, but I use SoD for an extra nuke

Hi fellow fury community, I'd appreciate some advice on my current gem and stat focus of choice. I personally feel theres alot more I can squeeze out of it, probably due to my play style. Especially on Hodir only hitting about 6.6kdps while i've seen other warriors push beyond 7.5~8.5.

Regards,
Furies

Fair call, I'm sorry alienangel, my mistake

This may be a little off-topic with 3.2 approaching but I noticed a while back that Blood Tap would occasionally reset both Blood Runes if used after a Blood Strike procced a Death Rune giving 2 immediate Death Runes. This mean that we can remove one Blood Strike from our rotations and get in an extra SS. Spec/Glyphs I ran some testing on the Heroic Dummy and here are my results:

While weaving in an extra SS may not gain any real DPS in the long run, it can be useful for trash pulls etc. The interesting part I found was that weaving Ghoul Frenzy ends in a loss of DPS. I was curious to find out if anyone else was finding this to be true as well.

I can confirm this. Using blood tap after a bloodstrike, both death runes are off cd.

If you mean that when you have one death rune on CD, and one available blood rune, and that tapping causes the death rune to come off cooldown and the blood rune to become a death rune, then yes this has been refered to multiple times in this thread alone.

As far as your results go, your numbers are too small a sample to give a reliable indication, and I find it hard to believe that using ghoul frenzy gives a 5% increase to ghoul dps as your numbers suggest.

Don't mean to come over as an arse, just I don't think your data is scientific enough to be usable.

Offtopic: Say again? Ever seen a rogue with the FoK glyphe doing 50K! dps on the Freya exploding lasher? Thats what I call king of AoE.

I think your title is inspired.

I very much approve of your user title
