Hey all, I've finally managed to get myself two uld level one handers to try out dual wielding. However, I seem to be doing something quite stupid I'm sitting at 9.33% hit, along with Nerves of cold steel, but the majority of my attacks(plague strike and Obliterate) seem to be missing. I reallize I have likely overlooked something quite stupid, if anyone could point out to me what it is, I will just hang my head in shame and move on. Thanks in advance

OK, I'm pretty convinced now that RP is overstacked in a prolonged rotation of the non-Pestilence type (when it's executed optimally). I fiddled with the idea of replacing IT Glyph with DnD Glyph for trash AOE, however, since the non-Pestilence rotation is already based on a 'realistic' type of gameplay - i.e. you won't be fighting a dummy or a strictly stationary boss 70% of the time - and performing the rotation optimally is not always the case, I strongly suspect that IT glyph is still needed for at least the 1st 2 or 3 rotations which are often also the only ones done.

Do not go beyond 8% hit unless it's forced by base gear. The EP of spell hit cap is impressively low.

I realize this, based on all the other posts but for some reason(some retarded mistake i've made most likely) 90% of my plague strikes and Obliterates are missing. I would link my armory but I just upped the spec so it likely wont be on the armory for a bit.

Here is my armory incase it does update The World of Warcraft Armory

Are you on a dummy? Sounds like you need to go out and get your one-hand weapon skills leveled up on some mobs.

You probably want to level your 1handed weapon skill.

sorry for asking this, but i've looked trough this entire thread pretty much, and the dk faq guide and some googling, but i ant seem to find out the precies hitrating for dw, seem to hear a lot of just going for 8 % hit, but on the otherside i see ppl advicing to go for 11% for spellhit as well wiich i guess leeds to virulence, plus shadowpriest hit buff to 17%? so is it worht striving for this 11% as it can be painful to miss a icy touch or is it comfy enuf with just the 8%?

Mavanas, i just noticed that there are some peices of gear that have dupilicate names but have different stat levels, such as my cloak compared to the cloak u have put in ur spreadsheet. Could you perhaps add some of the duplicate item name gear? plz and ty vm. your spreadsheet it awesome!

I have just purchased the badge Libram, no extensive testing yet just Razorscale, the proc had 100% uptime the whole of his ground phase.

After a few more bosses, the libram proc has a very high proc rate, no ICD, I have noticed it drop off when SoV dot is rolling once.

Probably bugged... 200 str 95% uptime.

Mzheng26 · 08/12/09, 2:52 PM

what should a ret pally get first with emblems of conquest? is the libram worth it?

aznhkbuddha · 08/12/09, 3:09 PM

SO since 3.2 came out what's the best dps spec?

Mzheng26 · 08/12/09, 3:51 PM

i meant what should a ret pally buy first with TRIUMPH badges ;p sorry

Most of us bought the libram. In it's current state, it's probably the single best DPS increase from any vendor.

This isn't the place to critique why anyone wants a specific macro. Whether you think its a good or bad idea is irrelevant, because you are making baseless assumptions.

Maybe I use that macro simply to double or triple tap when I can't DPS to make sure the buffs are still up and gain some free RP (which is pretty common in current PvE encounters, and VERY common in PvP encounters - WHICH is why I want it)? Is it easy to have them on two different buttons? Sure, but I like having them on one, and it's not like I'm castsequencing my whole rotation or severely gimping DPS by castrandoming IT,PS or something stupid.
