Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but as far as I know cap for ArP is 1232 ArP rating.
That way you'll get to 100% penetration.
As bosses have some damage reduction you'll need total of 104% Arp / 1282 ArP rating to negate that.

Hardcap means that you'll reach those numbers with your gear (and maybe consumables etc).
Softcap means that you'll have less ArP selfattained, but items like Mjolnir Runestone (665 ArP proc)
and Grim Toll (612 ArP proc) take you to cap when they proc.

Edit: typo

Although it is probably digressing this thread, I am getting numbers that suggest haste doesnt necessarily get worst as you start stacking high amounts of it. Haste is a bit special, you seem you have some nice "sweet spots", amounts of haste that sync rather well with the WF cd mechanic for example.

I haven't crunched some proper numbers yet, but just to give an idea:

My EP value given by the Sim for haste used to be quite low, around 1.5 -1.6, in 4T8.5 / ulduar25 gear with 424 haste rating. My guess would be that I was in a "sweet spot" for haste, and additional haste would shift my weapon speed to a lesser attractive sync spot with WF. Thus the only gain from haste would be increased white damage, which would explain the rather low EP value.

Now, I purchased the Totem of Electrifying Wind, ran the Sim, and my EP value for Haste shot up to 2.25.

Seemingly the extra 200 haste provided by that totem (with an excellent uptime) brings me to a point where stacking haste is alot more beneficial that it was before. Possibly because adding some haste would get my weapon speed to another of those "sweet spots" which seem to interact nicely with the WF cd.

This will of course strongly vary from player to player, as we all stack different amounts of haste, but the strong variation of Haste EP values at different haste levels is certainly worth looking at.

Hey Tetracycloide, I've been practicing the rotation:

Any lights here plz?

Thanks! very handy addon.

Hey Guys! I've got questions about the moonkin gear in 3.2!!!
So...
1. What is the best Tier7/8/9 combination? Which set bonuses are the best?
2. The new idol (emblem of triumph) or the +starfire damage idol?

I know this may seem mundane or even way off topic, and for that I apologize up front. At this point in my raiding, I have only a feral druid and a death knight whom are the only other melee dps classes who constantly top me on dps meters ( feral druid typically around 5-7k and the DK around 5-6k). I have been looking closely at the feral's gear, since in my opinion feral is close ( not exactly) to being like a rogue, and have noticed that he gems for all armor pen over agility. My question is this: Which is better for rogues in a pve raiding enviroment, agility or armor pen. as far as gemming goes?

So ive got a few questions as of 3.2 that i really havnt found any hard answers for, several have been discussed before but nothing ive found validates anything from pre 3.2

Haste
Ive heard our cap is 511 with no server lag for a 5/4 rotation however i was running a 6/5 rotation with 611 haste and everybody on the wow forums servers was telling me not to stack so much haste and to repalce it with SP so i did a little to test and my rot has gone crazy... Somehow im pulling a 5/6 rot now with 564 haste.
Now i know some of this is due to my totem kicking in after my first/second LB cast but should i be taking that into account and losing 200 haste so i sit at approx 511 after the totem?
Also ive found a fwe (not many though) people saying i should be stacking haste after 3.2 it became a higher ep stat, at what point should i stop stacking it then and should i take into account my self buffs before that cap.

Second is Lava Burst
now according to posts here i shouldnt be reglyhing for this till i have roughly 4k sp... 2 things im wondering is where im supposed to get 4k sp (even in all t9 gear im only at 2500 (and yes i know once i get the t9 4p i should use it anyway)? and ive found some posts that say once i hit 2200 unbuffed sp i should switch over at what point unbuffed should i consider switching over?

T9 2p
As the T9 2 piece bonus increases the leangth of our FS on the target should i consider dropping that glyph instead of the ToW glyph as then all ill be losing is the crit or should i keep it and switch my rot to 5/5/4 (obviously this links back to the answer of my first question).

Unfortunatly all this ties into my first haste questions and any answer has a significant change to the second and third issues. Ill post a lin kto my armory so people can check my procs in case you need to know that for the first question.

This is my first post on these forums so i want to thank Everyone here for all the help theyve given me over the years (ive been reading these scince i started raiding during the last year of Vanilla) and i look forwards to reading more. Also im sorry if these questons are redundant ive been trying to find answers for almost a month on the wow forums/waiting for an update for the ele stuff here and i keep getting a lot of one person says this one person says that.

The World of Warcraft Armory

This is actually answered in the OP of this thread.
I'll quote it so you don't have to click too much:

probably not...that 6 sec cd is still too long for me, not worth losing the crit to get it, especially now that there is an axe that is relatively easy to get from toc...even though it has not dropped for me yet 8(

Good thought, this isn't blood though, so think about the UA cooldown instead if anything (and what sane guild lets their blood DK hysteria themselves ... ).

Hi,

First of all, excuse my poor english, I'm not a native speaker. I wanted to know, what was your priority between WW and BT? I don't have the 4p t8 bonus, and I used to think that WW had to be highly prioritised over BT; so, if BT's CD cleared 0.5 secs before WW's, I actually wait for WW. But I'm no sure that this is a good idea....

So, do you prioritise WW over BT too? And if you do (or if you don't), to what extend?
