From posts I have seen on this FOrum, Imp. Demo Shout overall decreases incoming damage by 1-2% and not 20%.
Here's a test on the official Forums which confirms those 20%.
But this is again the "blizzard-up-to"-number.

Have to say I like what you did with the pet/possession bar, Coolline suits there well and I hadn't seen such a target frame yet. It seems to work well and the threat meter underneath it looks good.
i think its not ish ...

Question: Does your incinerates still benefit from F&B if other players immolate is on the target?

Love this one!

Would love, like someone else, to see a raid and combat version of it sometime. Looks great!

You can most definitely run the spreadsheet in Office 2004, which you can have concurrently installed with Office 2008.

Question pertains to short ranged fights as a Combat spec: (Heroics/Farming etc)

the typical rotation is:

1. Sinister Strike to 3+ Combo Points.
2. Slice and Dice.
3. Sinister Strike to 5 Combo Points.
4. Rupture.
5. Sinister Strike to 5 Combo Points.
6. Does Slice and Dice have >12 seconds left? If yes, Eviscerate. If no, Go to Step 2.
7. Go to Step 1.

but with short fights (trash etc) I should skip Rupture and just keep building combo points for Evic, is that the better idea? (not the brightest bulb, sorry)

poisons:


Mainhand a sword or fist weapon of generally slow speed.
Offhand a sword, dagger or fist weapon of generally fast speed.
Mainhand Wound Poison, Offhand Deadly Poison

but with short fights I should just go ahead and not use wound poison but use deadly poison on both weps?

and my last question is:

the MH for combat the time on it doesnt matter but you want the biggest Damage not actual DPS on it, correct? and OH u want fast as possible...

oh one more:

is there a MH sword/Mace anywhere u can get with emblems from heroics ( Ive seen the OH ones but no MH)

sorry for so many questions.

thanks, this reassured me somewhat.

And yes, i'd probably had tried to reput mangle over and over. So the drop will probably have come from that.

I don't plan on dropping $100 for '08 just to run a spreadsheet.

*EDIT* Just tried it on my friend's Macbook, "Visual Based Macros Are Incompatible With 2008 Version of Microsoft Excel"

Hit Capped

Hey guys I'm rocking Intensity right now until I can get the Lifebinder or Icecore Staff and am almost 5% overcapped.

Well I was... I just spec'd out of Arcane Focus and moved a point from Precision to Ice Shards.

Basically is this even worth doing? I mean with Focus being so low on the tree all I gained was some pushback protection and 20% aggro reduction.

I'm sure I'll need to spec back into it as soon as I lose the staff...

Now a question, since MBAM 4pc procs don't reset, it seems chain casting MBAM on a proc is the highest dps, or should i stack AB as much as possible in the time left on a 4pc proc? (2AB?)

Or, what do you guys think about swapping out T8 head and pants w/ T7 head and pants. So that way we can stack mana gems into our CD rotation?

Just a quick Question..

After leveling my Death Knight to 66 (I know...), and thoroughly enjoying my time spent with the class.. I began reading forums (I also know...) and it appears that 3.2 will severly limit the class' ability to effectively tank.

It does appear that the Frost tree is getting big nerfs, and that doesn't really bother me. I rolled a DK because I've had every other class past 60 and it was something "new" for me.

My concern isn't really with the effort required to tank, as it is the efficency of our tanking abilities. Will Death Knights still be asked to tank in 25-man/10-man raids? Or will we simply be put in the backseat and replaced with Warriors, Paladins, and Druids?

Having played a Warrior for most of my WoW days, I'm used to taking the back seat, and once again, it doesn't really bother me, just curious if it will happen?

In the same sense, if we are not asked to tank, will we be needed for our DPS or will we just be medicore at tanking and dealing damage in instances?

P.s. Sorry for any mis-spelled word, my work PC does not have spell-check.

i have a question on how you measure pet dps and how your pets abilities improve your dps.
i've always wonderd how the wolf gave you so much more dps, so after reading about your analyzer i thought...

made a graph to show the dps w/ the wolf pet and another that i had thought to be a very good pet due to its dps, the serpent which has the Poison spit ability which does 130-170 damage over 8sec which for a non-exotic pet thats a very good amount of damage.

so i started at just a xbow (Final Voyage) and the 67.5 dps arrows, 7/57/7 spec, SS HM and AH glyphs and started the graph to see which pet gave the best Combined dps this is what i got

just xbow/arrows
w/ wolf: 1160.59
w/ Serpent: 1187.20

now thats not a bad offset of only 27 dps and as i went on the gap remained the same for the most part. all the way up to full set of gear showing the same sign that the serpent was the better, so clicked enable best raid buffs and best raid debuffs and then it showed that some how the wolf came out on top by 21 dps....

now this is where im questioning it, how can just adding a couple buffs and debuffs switch how much dps that pet gives you? know matter what the pet it should still give the same if not close to the same % of dps....so how can this be?

Bladed Armor vs Black Ice

I'm currently 17/0/54 unholy spec but i was wondering that since im climbing into the 4k ap unbuffed range if i should switch from bladed armor, to black ice in frost. I tested it out on a dummy but have a mixed reaction. The spec mentioned on the first page as 7/10/54 was the one i tried. Is the added 10% frost/shadow damage worth losing about 300ap? Or should i stick with the cookie cutter rotation thats done quite well for me. My max dps has been 7.9k on decon in 25 man (just an example). Any help on the benefits of either switching from bladed armor to black ice would be helpful so thanks in advance.

I got from 4108 to 3718 ap without bladed armor in case that helps.
