But I'm new to running a lock (or any finger wiggler) so I was wonering if anyone could point me to a EP list for locks. I'm running afliction but thinking about trying demo. This is really helping me know how to play him but still have no ideal what equipimet is best for him.

Many thanks.

Read the simcraft thread and pay close attention to the scaling factors for each spec. A value of say, 1.5, would mean that for each point of that stat (Spell Power, for example), your dps would increase by 1.5.

Generally speaking, for most of our specs, you can follow the priority of:

Be hitcapped, then:

1) Spell Dmg
2) Spell Haste
3) Spell Crit
4) Spirit

5) Intellect (Only truly valued in Destruction)

Using the scaling factors, you can always determine the value of each piece of gear that drops and know if its good.

1) What spec's are viable for what purposes has been covered here and in other threads on the DK forums in great detail. Check those places first for sugestions.

2) Just because you like blood for tanking doesn't mean a hybrid spec will work if you're trying to make blood do something it doesn't.

3) Because you apparently didn't put any effort into finding an answer to your question I'll enlighten you. Your answer could actually be found ON THIS SAME PAGE of this thread because there was discussion ON THIS VERY TOPIC.

Does DRW gets benefit from its own disease? I've been reapplying diseases after I pop DRW and wondering if I was wasting my time all along

Sorry I may have missed it, but I don't see any point in the SrS Glyph. My Chimera always resets the cool-down wouldn't it be wiser using the glyph for something else Kill Shot. Steady Shot, Hunter's Mark (If your 3/3 talented in it) Almost any seems better just Serpent sting seems to me as wasted.
Thanks ahead of time.

Instead, a worthwhile waste of your time might be looking at some of the upcoming gear sets, and jumping in joy at the ridiculous amount of stats on gear. Or, perhaps, determining what role your raid will need you to fill in your raid comp, and determining if a CH heavy rotation or a RT / LHW rotation is better suited to your healing role next patch.
Er... So this is the best practices thread, but we can't talk about our practices? Our changes are minor, so nothing changed... So we should think about our roles next patch for a healing style that is suited for us?

I guess I'm just not being very clear on what I'm asking, since two people have already jumped down my throat... Because I'm trying to ask what everyone has learned from so far from the information that we've gathered from the PTR. I for one haven't been brave enough to attempt any of the new content. But I know a lot of the shaman who post here have, and can speak honestly about the changes in practice.

A lot of what you take for common sense: placing the right heals, the right timing, the intuition of healing isn't actually inherent. Or at least... not to the many... There are the few individuals who excel at things because something inside of them ticks.

Like myself and many of the silent readers of Elitist Jerks... We try to learn from everyone here. I'll take the blunt of those two blows in stride because what I learn from this place outweighs my experience with both you (Locriani) and Juice.

So I guess if I'm stupid by asking how everyone else is reacting this change I'm stupid. And we can move onto another subject. But if anyone else would like to mention how they plan on adapting to the changes coming next patch. I know I shall be silent, but I will be ever reading.

Greetings.
I'm looking for a good unholy tanking specc for 3.2.
and I wanted to ask you what you think about this Specc made by me

http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?deat...&version=10179

with the new scent of blood talent and dirge you should always have massive RP,
which can be used to cast many death coils (new unhoyl blight, anyone?)

hi, long time reader first time poster, i was asked by my guild to switch from SV to MM, ive notice alot of people say stack ArP for MM but as of right now i only have a ArP rating of 241 i am mostly gemmed agi. i was wondering why no matter what new gear i get or how i gem it im only pulling out 2.8 to 3.0 at the most unbuffed. im wondering if you can check me up on amoury and tell me what i am doing wrong, i really do believe with the gear i have i should be doing more than just 2.8

The reason SrS glyph is used over other glyph is because it increases the damage done with chimera shot. It's the largest gain out of all the glyphs for MM i believe.
