Agreed. HS is ok before 20%.....but it simply works off an auto attack...whereas spamming execute gives you an instant attack..And if you're geared enough to do enough damage....well then you can spam to your heart's content.

Okay.. couple of questions here.

1) EPs.. im confused and it looks like theory crafting is out of date? Im gonna be honest and just say it - im lost after running numerous sims. cant get a consistent feel.

2) gemming priorities. right now im AP > haste >anything else and specifically gemming for AP and stacking haste.

3) is there a haste cap/is there a way to know if you are gemming too much haste. is there a goal at which there is negative returns?

4) crit. my crit is just over 30%, can go under a tad with cloak i switch out of tank and spank fights. how important is crit? Should I be stacking more crit until about 32% or so?

thanks in advance.

Definite no, probably.

What are the best 2 DPS professions with 3.2? Is there a ballpark AEP for each profession? I want to know for sure before ditching alchemy. Thanks.

Guys.....I am very sorry if I sound like I do not know much about hunter spec....I do...just confused on some aspects of raiding (new to me )

I am new to raiding and I do not undestand the following: or i am looking for help

1. I dont undestand the rotation on MM build I am currently 7/57/7
2. The rotation calls for Serpent, Silence, Rapid, Chimera, Kill, Aimed, Berserker, readiness, steady
3. Is the above rotation correct? does it make sense?
4. if the rotation is correct how do I implemented into a boss fight? macros? do I have to wait for the last tick on any particular shot?

I need all the help that you are willing to offer me....

Thank you in advance ...........................

I was looking at Zeel post and his macros.....................are they correct?
how do you use those macros in a boss fight/

which build is better since I do not have top gear yet....mostly my gear is from 10 man naxx.

I am very new to raiding...so anything on how to start to what do to in the middle until the boss dies to keep and max my dps will help
including macros or rotation

thank so you much guys

Hi,

my rogue is mutilate but I only have two high dps weapons available, SR and GSS. Which one should I use in my OH (SR seems a little too slow with 1.8 speed)?

My wow-armory link is here (Playing on EU-.Server):
The World of Warcraft Armory

Thx in adv.
Ash

I Was just thinking i know alot of people use desktops and i see huge UI SS's and i was just wondering do you have to have a big screen to fit all of those mods down there?

Ok so now ive socketed a bit of Armorpen. With the new Trinket i come around 440. Which is fine by me. Now unfortunatly last night this dropped for me in the new 10-man instance.

Item: Girdle of the Impaler :: World of Warcraft :: Allakhazam.com

If i would use it my expertise would drop from 21 to 16. Furthermore i lose a lot of crit. Positive thing is I get a bit of hast and a lot of Armorpen, which means I can socket 3x 20 Strength again and maybe another one in the new girdle. I know it sais that expertise is never as worthy as strenght. But I am a little bit afraight. So does one of you guys really raid with expertise below 20?

Did it worked out for you? Or are there too many dodges?

Moreover i couldnt find if expertise acts like hit. I mean before you are hit capped hit is > strength. Does this apply for expertise either?

Honestly, the only thing I think exp is good for is just keeping your rotation in a nice and neat order (but even this goes out the window in high movement fights). Right now I'm rolling with a grand total of 12 exp (had 10 not too long ago) and when I did try to boost my exp through gems up to 21 all I saw was a little smoother rotation with a little dps loss. Sure RNG can be a bitch sometimes but I believe the STR I gain from not gemming exp outweighs the loss of a GCD. And 25 exp reduces dodge by 6.5%? Ok, so that means I have a whopping 3.5% chance of being dodged, so it's never not that many dodges that I think you're scared of seeing. Now it's not like exp is a bad thing, I believe it's still given a decent stat weight (the next best thing after STR and ArP and the hit cap) and I would love more exp gear to drop for me, but if it's not there I wouldn't gem for it.

Considering that 1) ArPen is already easy to cap without gemming, and 2) ArPen doesn't affect your AoE damage which can be quite useful on some fights, it's still arguably better overall to gem for Str.

Where can i find a sim?

Also, should i be shooting for 100% ArP with a proc or...?

Currently i have 46.77% ArP unbuffed, 18% of that being gemmed for. With grim toll proc and food buff, i have 99.71% ArP, and easily at 6200 AP in raids.

If i regem everything to Str, i have an extra 641 AP

Also, where does Blood Gorged, and abilities such as Sunder Armor/Faerie Fire play into it

Woa, Why is BE doing 1k DPS more then Alliance?

Heroic mode + all items vs normal mode + all items.

fishleg · 08/08/09, 1:30 PM

This was answered, but only to be sure, without GT or runestone, as arms, stacking arp is best way to go ? ( i have 66% and didnt get all epic sockets in my slots yet)?
